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

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

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

"It was a very meaningful show that was heartfelt and funny. Great show to see with my daughter, gave us a lot of meaningful topics to discuss. Recommend for anyone wanting to be entertained while learning about women’s struggles over the years."

Great show!
"I thought the show was very thoughtful and informative of the roles that women play not only in 1970 but in contemporary culture. The acting was superb and the writing very insightful and funny. Highly recommend attending. Because of the nudity, I don’t think it would be recommended for children."

Progress in the eye of the beholder

About Liberation

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.
