NT Live: Mrs Warren’s Profession

Five-time Olivier Award-winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) stars alongside her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary classic Mrs Warren’s Profession.

Vivie Warren is a modern woman with ambition and independence, but her mother has thrived by exploiting the old patriarchal order. When the truth behind Mrs. Warren’s success is revealed, their relationship is thrown into conflict.

Filmed live from the West End and directed by Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), this sharp, powerful play explores morality versus independence, tradition versus progress – and the cost of compromise.
