NTLive: Mrs Warren's Profession (TBC)
by Bernard Shaw
directed by Dominic Cooke
Five-time Olivier Award
winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown)
joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter
in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.
Vivie Warren is a woman
ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal
order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?
Filmed live from the West End, this
new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions
and progress.
