Mrs. Warren’s Profession by George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Jacy D’Aiutolo and produced by Whitney Moore
During a brief visit from her oft-absent mother, Vivie Warren learns the truth about her mother’s profession. The shocking news sets the stage for Shaw’s tale about hypocrisy, sex, money and morality. Originally banned from public performance, Shaw said about the play: “Ah, when I wrote that, I had some nerve.”
