Mrs Warren’s Profession

Why book? We loved Imelda in Oedipus last year. A phenomenal stage actress who will be on stage with her daughter Bessie Carter.

Directed by Dominic Cooke (Clybourne Park at the Royal Court, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Follies at the NT):

“This famously controversial play was banned after publication by the Lord Chamberlain, and promises an evening of classic entertainment from the playwright behind Pygmalion and Man and Superman. The show follows modern-minded young woman Vivie Warren, who wants to become a lawyer. But her future is upended by the arrival of her estranged mother, who has a batch of suitors in tow! Soon, revelations about the source of Mrs Warren’s wealth – and the money that afforded Vivie so much opportunity – are aired, but can Vivie begin to understand what her mother sacrificed to secure her family’s future?”
