"Wohl's memory play collects second-wave feminists from all walks of life as they tackle misogyny, internalized homophobia, domestic abuse and gender roles."
"The play navigates between past and present, and six of the actors disrobe for the act two opening scene."
"The Guardian's Adrian Horton praised 'Liberation' in a four-star review, stating that the play offers no concrete answers; one's personal politics and choices remain, as ever, a thicket of contradictions."
