Overview
- The Pulitzer board named Liberation the Drama winner Monday, awarding playwright Bess Wohl $15,000.
- The finalists were Nazareth Hassan’s Bowl EP and Talene Monahon’s Meet the Cartozians.
- The play follows a 1970s feminist group in Ohio and a daughter who seeks answers fifty years later.
- Liberation opened off-Broadway at Roundabout’s Laura Pels Theatre and later ran on Broadway at the James Earl Jones Theatre after winning ensemble and critics’ honors.
- Only Broadway shows qualify for Tuesday’s Tony nominations, leaving the finalists out and keeping Liberation in the race.
