Imelda Staunton and Bessie Carter star in Mrs Warren’s Profession, a major revival of George Bernard Shaw’s play coming to the Garrick Theatre this May. Booking is now open.
Directed by Dominic Cooke, the real-life mother and daughter team partner for the first time to head the cast of the production, which runs from May 10 until August 16.
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?
From Sonia Friedman Productions, the designer is Chloe Lamford, the lighting designer is Jon Clark, sound designer is Christopher Shutt and casting is by Amy Ball.
