NT LIVE - Mrs Warren's Profession

Mrs. Warren’s Profession

By Bernard Shaw

Directed by Dominic Cooke

Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life

daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in

Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.

Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old

patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?

Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic

Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions

and progress.
