"Mrs. Warren's Profession has only grown more incendiary in the hundred years since its first performance"
Broadway World
"I am my mother’s daughter. I am like you. But my work is not your work, and my way is not your way.”
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Estranged from her wealthy mother, she delights in a glass of whisky, a good detective story, and is determined to carve herself a sparkling legal career in an age ruled by men.
Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune and paid for her daughter’s expensive education - but at what cost?
★★★★
"Imelda Staunton is typically amazing in this startlingly fresh drama"
Time Out
Four-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bridgerton’s Bessie Carter for the very first time, reuniting with the extraordinary director Dominic Cooke (Hello, Dolly!, Good) to bring George Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic crashing into the 21st Century.
