Jewish Plays Project recommends LIBERATION as a Semi-Finalist for our first Ten Minute Play Contest OOF: On One Foot, which searched nationally for plays from artists of all backgrounds responding to our prompt on healing & repair. LIBERATION made a strong impact on our community of readers for the Festival of New Jewish Theatre in 2024, who connected with its current relevance and how it theatrically expressed the contest theme of healing & repair.

Liberation is a powerful and moving exploration of history, identity, and the human condition. Tennant’s rich dialogue brings to life the emotional struggle of two men confronting their pasts and the contradictions of fighting for freedom. A thought-provoking piece that resonates long after the final word.

This is a gripping play that accomplishes so much in ten minutes. Tennant tailors each moment to the story at hand and lets the dialogue guide the action naturally, which adds to the authenticity of the piece and the characters. An incredibly moving and powerful piece of theatre.
