Bess Wohl ‘s acclaimed Broadway play Liberation has won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Drama , with the announcement coming just a day before the season’s Tony Award nominations are revealed.

The Pulitzer organization called the play, which ran at Broadway’s James Earl Jones Theatre from October 8, 2025, to February 1, 2026, “A striking blend of comedy and sincerity that explores the legacy of the consciousness-raising feminist groups of the 1970s, using the story of the playwright’s mother to demonstrate how the movement grew out of conversation, and that anyone experiencing the play has joined the discussion.”
