Character Breakdown: LIBERATION Cast Unpacks Their Roles

Ready to get liberated? Bess Wohl's acclaimed new play, Liberation, lands on Broadway this fall following a triumphant run off-Broadway. What's it all about...?

Liberation is a funny, time-bending, and deeply moving new play that brings to life a group of women in 1970s Ohio who gather in the basement of the local Y for a weekly consciousness-raising group—as they find their place in a new wave of feminism taking hold around them. While their candid conversations unfold with humor, heart, and vulnerability, the play explores how everyday moments spark lasting change. Interwoven with a present-day narrator discovering her mother’s radical past before marriage and motherhood, Liberation becomes a heartfelt exploration of memory, identity, and the enduring power of women speaking their truths.

"I think what I love about  both [of my characters] is their vulnerable honesty," said Susannah Flood, who plays Lizzie. "That they don't always know what to do next and that they are willing to be seen, and that state of confusion. I think that's hard to do. I actually think that takes a lot of guts."
