“I am my mother’s daughter. I am like you. But my work isn't your work, and my way is not your way.”
Vivie Warren is very much a woman ahead of her time. Now estranged from her wealthy mother, she delights in a good detective story, and a glass of whisky, and is determined to carve a sparkling legal career out for herself in a male-dominated world.
Her mother is a product of the old patriarchal order however and has exploited it to earn a fortune to pay for her daughter’s expensive education – but at what actual cost?
For the first time, multi Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton joins forces at the Garrick Theatre with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter and reunites with director Dominic Cooke to bring George Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic, Mrs. Warren's Profession, into the 21st Century.
