A young woman discovers her privileged lifestyle was paid for by her mother's sex work. The two women enter a battle royal over what it means to be a modern woman, a working woman, and just plain be a woman.
Written in 1893 by Nobel and Oscar winning George Bernard Shaw, Mrs. Warren's Profession was originally banned for over 30 years. Alley Theatre invites you to a post-modern revisitation of this famous play with immersive staging and live music by Juno Award-winning musicians at the historic and hip Rickshaw Theatre.
"In Shaw's stringent social comedy, Mrs. Warren is utterly of her times ... and our times too." - The New York Times
Directed by MARISA SMITH, winner of the Joanna Maratta Award for "displaying the most potential to contribute to the Vancouver theatre community".
