Mrs. Warren's Profession - 2010 - West End History , Info & More

Comedy Theatre
(Leicester Square) Panton Street off Haymarket London

Mrs Warren's daughter, Vivie, has never really known much about her mother. A prim young woman, she has enjoyed a comfortable upbringing, a Cambridge education, a generous monthly allowance and now has ambitions to go into Law. Is it conceivable that all this privilege and respectability has been financed from the proceeds of the oldest profession? How will Vivie react when she finds out the awful truth about her mother's ill-gotten gains?



Shaw's ultimate test of a mother-daughter relationship is one of his most witty and provocative plays.



Written in 1894 but banned from performance until the racy 1920s, Mrs Warren's Profession lays bare the rampant hypocrisy of Victorian society and its constrained morals. Acclaimed at its opening at the Theatre Royal Bath, this new production of Shaw's favourite of his own plays features a stellar cast including Felicity Kendal, David Yelland and newcomer Lucy Briggs-Owen.
