Liberation

**March 2 through March 20, 2027.** Experience one of the most celebrated new plays in recent memory as Key West's Red Barn Theatre presents Liberation by Bess Wohl, a genuine coup for the Barn and a highlight of its 47th season. Fresh off winning both the 2026 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, and racking up honors from the Dramatists Guild, the Drama Desk Awards, the Outer Critics Circle, and the Lucille Lortel Awards among many others, this is a rare chance to see a landmark piece of American theater in Key West's most intimate professional playhouse.
Set in 1970, the story gathers six women in the basement of a community center somewhere in Ohio, where they meet, week after week, to ask a deceptively simple question: what would it mean to truly have a seat at the table? What begins as a small gathering blossoms into a rich, funny, and deeply human memory play about ambition, friendship, sacrifice, and the choices that shape a life.
Overwhelmingly acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, Liberation percolates with humor and heart while building a current of quiet suspense that keeps you leaning forward right up to the final moment. It is consistently funny, unexpectedly moving, and downright riveting, the kind of theater that stays with you long after the lights come up.
Whether you are a devoted theatergoer or simply someone who loves a great story well told, this is an unmissable evening in Old Town. Grab your tickets early, because a show this decorated and this talked-about is sure to draw a crowd at the Barn!
