Liberation follows two timelines linked by one group of women and the complex legacy of their activism. In 1970, a group of women meet in a community center at the height of second-wave feminism, forging bonds and ideologies that shape their lives. Fifty years later, the daughter of the group’s founder returns, seeking to understand what truly happened during that pivotal moment—and how their ideals evolved or unraveled over time.
The play is written by Tony Award nominee Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons, Small Mouth Sounds), known for character-driven works that explore emotional and generational depth. Direction is by Tony nominee Whitney White (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding), bringing a contemporary perspective to a play grounded in historical and personal inquiry.
An Outer Critics Circle Award winner, Liberation makes its Broadway debut with a focus on intergenerational feminism, memory, and the private conversations that shape public change.
