Mrs Warren's Professsion

By Bernard Shaw

About the Show

By Bernard Shaw. Directed by Maurice Uzzell. Having grown rich "exploiting men", Mrs Warren brings up her daughter, Vivie, in comfort and gives her a university education. After achieving high academic honours Vivie learns the source of her mother's wealth and that she plans a life of luxury for her daugher. However, Vivie isn't so sure... The action takes place in England in the summer of 1900 in around a cottage, a rectory garden and an office in London. In 1893 Shaw completed Mrs. Warren’s Profession, however, it was censored for eight years. When it was finally performed in London in 1902, the public was outraged by its controversial content.
