“The best play I’ve seen this season.”—Sara Holdren, New York Magazine.

Ohio in the 1970s. Lizzie gathers a group of women to talk about changing their lives and the world. What follows is a necessary, messy, and bitingly funny exploration of what it means to be free and to be a woman. 

In Liberation, Lizzie’s daughter steps into her mother’s memory—into the unfinished revolution she once helped ignite—and searches the past to find the answer for herself. 

Written by Tony Award winner Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons) and directed by Obie Award winner Taibi Magar, Liberation is a refreshingly irreverent and intensely relevant powerhouse of a play about what we inherit, what we forget, and what we’re still fighting to understand.
