About Mrs. Warren's Profession
Directed by Michael Rothhaar
Two of Shaw’s greatest women clash as Mrs. Warren and her daughter Vivie struggle to connect in light of their very different views on women, morality, and business. Shaw’s play was considered explosive when it premiered in 1905, drawing ire from the Lord Chamberlain’s office for its frank examination of the hypocrisy surrounding prostitution. It still packs a punch today. This new production will be helmed by the director of our 1991 production.

More information about Mrs. Warren's Profession
"Washington Stage Guild’s ‘Mrs. Warren’s Profession’ has a firm grip on comedy and critique…features terrific performances… Director Michael Rothhaar, who staged the once-scandalous 1893 play for the company in 1991, has imbued this new version with assured actors who interweave comedy and drama at a spry pace. Amid the ample entertainment, Shaw’s still-relevant social critique registers crisply.”
— Celia Wren, The Washington Post
“Appearing at the Washington Stage Guild this month is Mrs. Warren’s Profession, a biting and poignant play that remains as relevant today as when it was first penned by George Bernard Shaw in 1893. Directed by Michael Rothhaar, who also directed Washington Stage Guild’s 1991 production of the show, this rendition of Mrs. Warren’s Profession showcases the play’s humor and wit without dulling the more provocative elements for which it is known.”
— Morgan Musselman, Broadway World
