Story

It's 1970: somewhere in Ohio, six women meet on a basement basketball court, determined to shake up their lives and change the world. Fifty years later, one of their daughters tries to understand where things fell apart. A provocative, wildly theatrical world premiere that poses vital questions about friendship, legacy, and the true meaning of liberation.

A collection of our favorite reviews from professional news sources.
The Washington Post

"An enthralling, emotional knockout and the first must see play of the season. Mothers, take your friends and daughters, and vice versa."

The Washington Post

Naveen Kumar

The New York Times

"Powerfully moving and consistently funny. An unadulterated pleasure. If there is a show that can make the case for a Tony Award for best ensemble, it’s this one."

The New York Times

Elisabeth Vincentelli

New York Magazine

"Go see Liberation, people! Both times I’ve seen Bess Wohl’s THRILLING play, I’ve felt unprepared for the emotional wallop it lands."

Profound and moving
"I came of age in the 70’s. Liberation spoke to my heart. Women did not have the choices in the past that we have today. But if we are not careful, those choices will be taken away. They already are! Women must stick together to demand equality. I loved this show!"

Brilliant Play
" This is one of the best plays I have ever seen. Insightful, thought provoking, and brilliantly written, Liberation set the bar high. The acting was perfect."

Susan S from Haverford on Nov 16, 2025
A Bridge Across the Ages
"A group of six of us, two seniors, friends since elementary school, my grown daughter, and three of her friends, enjoyed this passionate performance together. The mix of emotions it evoked and the lively dinner conversation following were unanticipated and, well, liberating! We all concluded that this generation bridging performance was both inspiring and thought-provoking, albeit for our own reasons. Keep putting your bricks in the wall, people! I challenge you to see LIBERATION. Consider how each generation has more in common with the previous than we realize...but a word of caution: It may not be for the reasons you imagine! There is some nudity, but don't let that deter you. Just go, you'll see what I mean! "

Best play I have seen in a decade
"This creative telling of the struggle for equal rights by our mothers is a must see for all! I do hope a young student-friendly version is produced, because the message is so powerful and told in a disarming, compassionate way with humor, love and a lot of respect for the women who came before us. "

Laughing. Crying. Sobbing. Reeling.
"Liberation is the beautiful and timeless story of women fighting for the right to exist equally in the world. The tension between what that looks like to the outside world, and what that even looks like amongst themselves is among the primary themes of this hysterical and heart grabbing play. If this doesn’t win a Tony, the committee should quite simply be fired. "

Incredibly Powerful + Nuanced
"I absolutely LOVED this play. It was powerful, raw, and nuanced -- and hit so close to home! Beautiful (albeit complicated) commentary on society and the women's movement at large -- past, present, and future. I cried a lot... and absolutely loved it. It'll make you call your mom. "

Heidi D from Richmond on Oct 21, 2025
The show reminded me of my own involvement in Women's Liberation.
"The actors were wonderful and the content was informative and funny at times. The play brought up many of the issues we grappled with in the 1970s and, like us, solved only a few of them."
