1970s, Ohio. Lizzie gathers a group of women to talk about changing their lives and the world. What follows is a necessary, messy and bitingly funny exploration of what it means to be free and to be a woman. In Liberation, Lizzie’s daughter steps into her mother’s memory—into the unfinished revolution she once helped ignite—and searches the past to find the answer for herself. “The best play I’ve seen this season.” –Sara Holdren, New York Magazine

Tony Award nominees Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons) and Whitney White (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding) present a refreshingly irreverent and intensely relevant powerhouse of a play about what we inherit, what we forget and what we’re still fighting to understand.
