George Bernard Shaw’s 1893 play Mrs. Warren’s Profession was so incendiary that the cast of the first public performance in 1905 was arrested midway through the show. Over the course of the play Shaw asks whether choices made in desperation can be forgiven, and whether the end always justifies the means.

Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Estranged from her wealthy mother, she delights in a glass of whisky, a good detective story, and is determined to carve herself a sparkling legal career in an age ruled by men.

Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune and paid for her daughter’s expensive education – but at what cost?

Four-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bridgerton’s Bessie Carter for the very first time, reuniting with the extraordinary director Dominic Cooke (Hello, Dolly!) to bring George Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic crashing into the 21st Century.
