Official synopsis Publisher
“Mrs. Warren’s Profession” is George Bernard Shaw’s classic play that centers on the relationship between Mrs. Warren, a prostitute, and her prudish Cambridge-educated daughter Vivie, who is horrified to discover that her mother’s wealth was acquired through the operation of whore-houses. Shaw offers up this play “to draw attention to the truth that prostitution is caused, not by female depravity and male licentiousness, but simply by underpaying, undervaluing, and overworking women so shamefully that the poorest of them are forced to resort to prostitution to keep body and soul together.”
