LIBERATION

Laura Pels Theatre
Runs through March 30

Bess Wohl has a track record for writing intimate, insightful plays injected with sly humor. She returns with Liberation at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Mriam Steinberg Center for Theatre.

Liberation features Betsy Aidem as “Margie,” Audrey Corsa as “Dora,” Kayla Davion as “Joanne,” Susannah Flood as “Lizzie,” Kristolyn Lloyd as “Celeste,” Irene Sofia Lucio as “Isidora,” Charlie Thurston as “Bill,” and Adina Verson as “Susan.”

The top notch creative team for Liberation includes David Zinn (Sets), Qween Jean (Costumes), Cha See (Lighting), and Palmer Hefferan (Sound).

Based in Ohio around 1970, Lizzie gathers a small group of women to talk. But talking quickly becomes a necessary and bracingly funny attempt to change their own lives and the world. Fifty years later, her daughter is shocked to find herself asking the very same questions her mother did, and goes on a search through the past for answers.

From Tony Award® nominees Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons, Make Believe)and Whitney White (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding, The Last Five Years) comes a provocative, revealing, and irreverent jolt of a play about what really goes on when women meet behind closed doors.
