WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Irish Repertory Theatre continues its 2005-2006 season with George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession, starring award winner Dana Ivey and directed by Charlotte Moore. This production is being performed during the centennial anniversary of the play's original American production.
At the turn of the century, Vivie Warren, a Cambridge educated and well brought-up young woman, learns that her mother, Mrs. Kitty Warren, has risen from abject poverty to enormous wealth through her investments in brothels throughout Europe. While Miss Warren acknowledges her mothers courage and respects her overcoming her past, she fails to agree with her mothers continuing in her line of work.

When George Bernard Shaw died in 1950 at 94, a production of the literary giant's Mrs. Warren's Profession was on view in Manhattan. Harold Clurman, wearing his critic's cap, seized the chance to write an appreciation of Shaw and the scandalous 1893 play -- as well as of a production of Arms and the Man that was also on the boards at the time. "Like most of his other plays," Clurman commented, "[these Shaw works are] really an attempt to illustrate the fact that realistic common sense and down-to-earth practicality in all walks of life will provide a truer basis for a genuine humanism than all the high-flown humanism and glamorous poetics of the past did."
