WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tony Award winner Cherry Jones returns to Broadway in George Bernard Shaw's scorching tour de force! Mrs. Warren's Profession tells the story of Kitty Warren, a mother who makes a terrible sacrifice for her daughter Vivie's independence. The clash of these two strong-willed but culturally constrained women is the spark that ignites the ironic wit of one of Shaw's greatest plays.

Mrs Warren's Profession on Broadway
A wonderful production of one of Shaws greatest plays with outstanding performances by Cherry Jones and Sally Hawkins.
I have posteed a long review of this play on my blog www.aseatontheaisle.blogspot.com

When Cherry Jones makes her entrance as Kitty Warren in George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession, now at the Roundabout's American Airlines Theatre, she's wearing a red traveling suit and elaborate wide-brimmed chapeau that Catherine Zuber designed according to George Bernard Shaw's request for "a brilliant hat and a gay blouse." While the costume may be just a tad vulgar for the character -- a successful brothel owner -- it's when Jones starts speaking that Doug Hughes' misguided revival encounters its first serious setback.
In attempting to tackle a Cockney accent, Jones not only gets nowhere near the mark, but she also leaves the audience constantly preoccupied trying to figure [...]
