Mrs Warren's Profession

Felicity Kendal in Mrs Warren’s Profession

Felicity Kendal stars in George Bernard Shaw’s controversial play ‘Mrs Warren’s Profession’. Shaw’s witty and provocative drama sees a mother-daughter relationship put under pressure in the face of Victorian morality. Mrs Warren’s daughter, the prim, Cambridge-educated Vivie, has ambitions for a career in law. She is shocked to discover that her privileged upbringing has been financed by her mother’s involvement in the world’s ‘oldest profession’.  

Originally banned by the censors for it’s portrayal of vice and prostitution, ‘Mrs Warren’s Profession’ remains a witty and provocative drama. Felicity Kendal is most famous for the role of ‘Barbara Good’ in top ‘70s sitcom ‘The Good Life’. Her numerous stage credits include ‘The Vortex’ and most recently ‘The Last Cigarette’. Tony Award-winning director Michael Rudman has worked extensively in the West End, on Broadway and at the National Theatre.
