Mrs Warren's Profession
Mother-daughter duo Imelda Staunton and Bessie Carter team up for a West End sensation in George Bernard Shaw’s Mrs Warren’s Profession. This famously controversial play was banned after publication by the Lord Chamberlain, and promises an evening of classic entertainment from the playwright behind Pygmalion and Man and Superman. The show follows modern-minded young woman Vivie Warren, who wants to become a lawyer. But her future is upended by the arrival of her estranged mother, who has a batch of suitors in tow! Soon, revelations about the source of Mrs Warren’s wealth - and the money that afforded Vivie so much opportunity - are aired, but can Vivie begin to understand what her mother sacrificed to secure her family’s future? Directed by Dominic Cooke, this new revival brings Shaw’s explosive moral drama into the 21st century. Don’t miss out on seeing one of the finest actors of her generation back on stage following last year’s Hello, Dolly!
