"[Liberation is] about community and the power of community. And there's fewer and fewer places to find that. And I think the theatre is one of those places where I still go for that." —Bess Wohl
“An unadulterated pleasure. Powerfully moving and funny…” —New York Times
“A superb enthralling emotional knockout... an extraordinary must-see…”
—Washington Post
“Fiery, funny and provocative.” —The Guardian
What happens after the revolution? Liberation animates the ideals of a generation meeting the realities of a lifetime. Sparkling with wit and irresistible humor, Wohl’s Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning comedy celebrates the messy business of changing the world—and yourself. As the play moves between a vibrant women's liberation retreat in the 1970s and the present day, seven extraordinary women weave their memories, idealism, and hard-earned experiences into a rich meditation on feminism, intimate relationships, and the passage of time. “This is a play I’ve been living with my whole life. I grew up with a mom who worked at Ms. Magazine. I first went to Ms. when I was a baby. I have pictures of me bouncing on my mom’s lap in her office [next to] a big poster of Wonder Woman.” –Bess Wohl
