About Mrs Warren’s Profession
Vivie Warren, a fiercely independent woman ahead of her time, is determined to succeed in a male-dominated world. Estranged from her mother, Mrs. Warren, Vivie is unaware of the cost of her mother’s wealth, which has been built on a scandalous secret: Mrs. Warren’s fortune comes from running a chain of brothels. As Vivie strives to build her legal career, the truth about her mother's past is slowly revealed, sparking an emotional and moral conflict that questions the price of success.
Shaw's sharp commentary on society, women’s rights, and moral ambiguity has made Mrs Warren's Profession a cornerstone of the theatrical canon. The previously banned play’s timely themes have led to numerous revivals, including this latest production on the West End.
