Castle Hill Players presents Mrs Warren ’ s Profession at the Pavilion Theatre from 26th July – 17th August
Written in 1893 , Mrs Warren ’ s Profession proved too much for Victorian sensibilities and didn ’ t debut on the London stage until 1902 at the dawn of the Edwardian age .
Kitty Warren , former prostitute , “ spoilt and domineering , and decidedly vulgar ”, is
|
now a successful businesswoman – due to her owning several brothels across Europe . Her thoroughly modern and pragmatic daughter Vivie , having just graduated from university , seeks to get acquainted with Kitty for the first time in her young life .
When Vivie realises what her mother does for a living , their relationship irrevocably changes and she must find her own way forward in a world run by men .
Shaw asserts that prostitution is not
|
caused by moral failure but by economic necessity and , well over a century after its first performance , his play still resonates . How and why do we judge the choices of others – as well as the choices we make for ourselves ?
“ This super talented cast and crew have more than done justice to this Shaw masterpiece . It ’ s a must see !”
