Tony Award-nominated playwright Bess Wohl ("Grand Horizons") and Tony-nominated director Whitney White ("Jaja's African Hair Braiding") each return to Broadway with the new play "Liberation."
The ensemble play premiered Off-Broadway in the spring of 2025 and played a sold-out run with the Roundabout Theatre Company. Now, "Liberation" has transferred to Broadway for a limited engagement at the James Earl Jones Theatre.
The production features the entire original ensemble in a groundbreaking work. The play toggles between present day and the 1970s as a woman named Lizzie imagines what her mother’s consciousness-raising group during feminism’s second wave might have been like. A theatrical piece on this topic could feel heavy, but Wohl’s script and its mounting have a glow and a lightness to it.
In this latest episode: Wohl, White and members of the cast dive deep with host Ruthie Fierberg to discuss what audiences can expect from "Liberation" and the process behind making it.
