Tony-Nominated Pulitzer Winner ‘Liberation’ Sets London Production

Bess Wohl‘s Liberation, the Tony nominated play and 2026 Pulitzer Prize winner, will be produced in London next year, producers announced today.

Producers Daryl Roth, Eva Price, and Rachel Sussman made the announcement, and Liberation will be presented by them in association with Olivier Award-winning producers Eleanor Lloyd Productions and Eilene Davidson Productions at a theater to be announced.

As previously announced, Liberation will also be produced throughout the United States in 2026-27, including the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles, Berkeley Rep in Berkeley, CA, and the Studio Theatre in Washington, DC, with other productions to be announced soon.

The play, directed by Whitney White, was recently nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Play, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role/Play (Susannah Flood), Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role/Play (Betsy Aidem), Best Direction of a Play and Best Costume Design of a Play (Qween Jean).

Following its Off Broadway world premiere at Roundabout Theatre Company, Liberation opened on Broadway on October 28, 2025, at the James Earl Jones Theatre where it played an extended run through February 1, 2026.

The synopsis: “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.”

Liberation was produced on Broadway by Daryl Roth, Eva Price, and Rachel Sussman.
