Mrs. Warren’s Profession

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.
