NT Live – Mrs. Warren’s Profession
by Bernard Shaw, directed by Dominic Cooke
Filmed in front of a live audience, NT Live screenings give you the best seat in the house to see National Theatre productions from your favourite local venue. Each production is captured with several cameras, giving you emotional close-ups as well as dramatic full-stage shots, for an extraordinary theatre experience.
Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?
Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.
