Mrs. Warren's Profession

'I am my mother's daughter. I am like you. But my work is not your work, and my way is not your way.' 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? Director Dominic Cooke brings Bernard Shaw's incendiary moral classic crashing into the 21st century in a new version of the play, premiering at the Garrick Theatre in the West End in 2025.
