“Wicked balance of anger and comedy”
— New York Post

Mrs. Warren has worked hard to provide a good life for her daughter. But when Vivie finds out the truth about her mother’s profession, sparks fly between the two independent working women. Armed with wicked wit and astute insight, George Bernard Shaw pits mother against daughter to expose the corruption and hypocrisy of Victorian society. Will their relationship survive a battle about sex, love, money, career and morality? A sparkling comedy, Mrs. Warren’s Profession is also a scathing indictment of the social conditions for women of the era.
