Liberation on Broadway

✊🗣️ LIBERATION — A Bold, Funny, and Fearlessly Honest Broadway Play 🗣️✊

Sharp, provocative, and unexpectedly hilarious, LIBERATION arrives on Broadway as a powerful exploration of feminism, family, and the questions that refuse to stay in the past. Set across two timelines—1970 and the present day—this revelatory new play asks what really happens when women gather behind closed doors and dare to speak freely.

In 1970s Ohio, Lizzie brings together a small group of women for what begins as simple conversation. But those conversations quickly evolve into something urgent and transformative—a bracing, often funny attempt to change not only their own lives, but the world around them. Fifty years later, Lizzie’s daughter confronts the unsettling realization that she is wrestling with the very same questions her mother once faced. Her search through the past becomes a reckoning with progress, legacy, and what liberation truly means.

Written by Tony Award® nominee Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons) and directed by Tony Award® nominee Whitney White (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding), LIBERATION blends wit, candor, and emotional depth into a play that feels both deeply personal and strikingly universal. Irreverent yet sincere, the show captures the humor, tension, and vulnerability of women navigating identity, power, and solidarity across generations.

Smart, timely, and conversation-starting, LIBERATION is essential Broadway for audiences drawn to contemporary storytelling, feminist perspectives, and theater that challenges assumptions while delivering laughs and insight in equal measure.
