| Mrs
Warren's Profession
by Bernard Shaw directed by Helena Kaut-Howson 31 May - 1 July 2000 Miss
Vivie Warren is a thoroughly modern young woman. She has rejected the
traditional trappings of femininity for a university education and a
professional career. But now her distant and mysterious mother, Mrs
Warren, is coming to stay, trailing a string of admirers in her wake. The
two women’s lives will never be the same once this most curious of
mothers reveals some extremely shocking news.
Mrs Warren’s Profession is both a
searing examination of power and oppression, and a piercing attack on
piety and self interest. Shaw’s thrilling play, one of his three
scintillating social dramas he called Plays Unpleasant, is as relevant
today as when it was first published in 1894. CASTING Mrs Warren Denise Black Vivie Warren Rebecca Johnson Sir George Crofts Gerald Harper Mr. Praed Robert Pickavance Rev. Samuel Gardner Ewan Hooper Frank Gardner Ifan Meredith
