Arts Society: Liberation

1970, Ohio. Lizzie gathers a small group of women to talk. But talking quickly becomes a necessary and bracingly funny attempt to change their own lives and the world. Fifty years later, her daughter is shocked to find herself asking the very same questions her mother did, and goes on a search through the past for answers.

From Tony Award® nominees Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons) and Whitney White (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding) comes a provocative, revealing, and irreverent jolt of a play about what really goes on when women meet behind closed doors.

“The best play I’ve seen this season.”
SARA HOLDREN, NEW YORK MAGAZINE

“A work of great ambition, LIBERATION IS A GRIPPING, FUNNY, DARING NEW PLAY.”
JESSE GREEN, THE NEW YORK TIMES

“As good as New York theater gets.”
ROBERT HOFLER, THE WRAP
