Mrs Warren's Profession

About the show

Imelda Staunton and her daughter Bessie Carver star in this George Bernard Shaw powerhouse play.

Vivie Warren is a trailblazer in a time that demands conformity. Estranged from her affluent mother, Vivie relishes a glass of whisky, a gripping detective novel, and her pursuit of a stellar legal career in a male-dominated world.

Her mother, Mrs. Warren, represents the old patriarchal order, one she has masterfully exploited to amass a fortune and provide Vivie with a first-class education. But this wealth comes with a dark question - what price has been paid for her success?

Four-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) and her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) unite for the first time on stage. Under the visionary direction of Dominic Cooke (Hello, Dolly!, Good), they bring George Bernard Shaw’s searing moral drama into the 21st century with renewed power and urgency.
