Originally banned from the stage, Mrs. Warren's Profession scandalized audiences upon its debut. The world of the idealistic
Vivie is turned upside down when she learns that her family's considerable wealth comes from her mother's management of a chain of brothels. Is Mrs. Warren's Profession an outrageous moral failure or a paragon of female achievement?
Tony Award winner Elizabeth Ashley stars in the title role.
