Mrs Warren's Profession, by Shaw, George Bernard - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - Shaw, George Bernard's third play, Mrs. Warren's Profession, is a story of family relations and sexual propriety in Victorian England. Vivie Warren leads a comfortable, well-educated, middle-class existence. She is dismayed to discover that her proper upbringing has been funded in the most improper of ways - her mother is a brothel manager. For Mrs. Warren, her work has enabled her to rise from desperate poverty and provide her daughter with the good things in life. Can Vivie overcome her repugnance at her mother's profession? Challenging the mores of its time, Mrs. Warren's Profession addresses the economic and social realities of Victorian women, while crackling with wit and energy.

Review

'Banned for over 30 years, this cautionary tale ruthlessly dissects Victorian family relationships in all its uncompromising forms voyeuristically witnessing breathtaking snobbery, arrogance, attitudes to lower classes and an unsavoury disposition to money and status... In a world where perception, morality, money and status form the basis of how society frames itself Mrs Warren's Profession is a caustic, revelatory tale of dysfunction.' --Jackie Cobham, Daily Telegraph

'The real pleasure of Shaw's play...is just how modern it can feel, whether it is pricking the balloon of morality or hypocrisy' --Lyn Gardner, Guardian
