Starring Felicity Kendal

By George Bernard Shaw
Director Michael Rudman

What is Mrs Warren’s profession? Her daughter Vivie has never really known much about her mother. A prim young woman, she has enjoyed a comfortable upbringing, a Cambridge education and a generous monthly allowance. Now she 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.

Felicity Kendal’s television credits include The Good Life and Rosemary and Thyme. Her numerous stage appearances include The Vortexn and most recently, The Last Cigarette.

‘It is much my best play. Ah, when I wrote it, I had some nerve’
Bernard Shaw

'Felicity Kendal…superb, Lucy Briggs-Owen…brilliant. A witty and gripping production of one of Shaw’s greatest plays' Daily Telegraph
 
'Michael Rudman's excellent revival' Mail on Sunday
