George Bernard Shaw‘s MRS. WARREN’S PROFESSION is playing at the Garrick Theatre for a limited time only!
“I am my mother’s daughter. I am like you. But my work is not your work, and my way is not your way.”
Four-time Olivier Award-winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, reuniting with the extraordinary director Dominic Cooke (Hello, Dolly!, Good) to bring George Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic crashing into the 21st Century.

Please note that the performances on the 23rd July (matinee) and 30th July (matinee and evening) will be filmed. There will be several cameras in the auditorium and views of the stage may be blocked at any time during the performance. While every effort has been made to make filming as discreet as possible, several cameras are present and visible in the auditorium. There will be 360-degree filming which will result in audience members being filmed and being visible in any later broadcast. By attending you are agreeing to being filmed. Latecomers will not be admitted.
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?
