What is Mrs Warren's profession? Her daughter Vivie has never really known much about her mother.
A prim young woman, she has enjoyed a comfortable upbringing, a Cambridge education and a generous monthly allowance.
Now she has ambitions to go into Law.
Is it conceivablethat all this privilege and respectability has been financed from the proceeds of the oldest profession? How will Vivie react when she finds out the awful truth about her mother's ill-gotten gains? Shaw's ultimate test of a mother-daughter relationship is one of his most witty and provocative plays.
Written in 1894 but banned from performance until the racy 1920s, Mrs Warren's Profession lays bare the rampant hypocrisy of Victorian society and its constrained moralsStars Felicity Kendall.
