This is a new and freshly published edition of this culturally important work by George Bernard Shaw, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Mrs Warrens Profession: Mrs Warrens Profession is the one play of mine which I could submit to a censorship without doubt of the result; only, it must not be the censorship of the minor theatre critic, nor of an innocent court official like the Lord Chamberlains Examiner, much less of people who consciously profit by Mrs Warrens profession, or who personally make use of it, or who hold the widely whispered view that it is an indispensable safety-valve for the protection of domestic virtue, or, above all, who are smitten with a sentimental affection for our fallen sister, and would take her up tenderly, lift her with care, fashioned so slenderly, young, and SO fair. ...Let the Kings Reader of Plays, backed by the Press, make an unwritten but perfectly well understood regulation that members of Mrs Warrens profession shall be tolerated on the stage only when they are beautiful, exquisitely dressed, and sumptuously lodged and fed; also that they shall, at the end of the play, die of consumption to the sympathetic tears of the whole audience, or step into the next room to commit suicide, or at least be turned out by their protectors and passed on to be redeemed by old and faithful lovers who have adored them in spite of their levities. ...The incidents of sex which they contain, though carried in both to the extreme point at which another step would be dealt with, not by the Kings Reader, but by the police, do not involve adultery, nor any allusion to Mrs Warrens profession, nor to the fact that the children of any polyandrous group will, when they grow up, inevitably be confronted, as those of Mrs Warrens group are in my play, with the insoluble problem of their own possible consanguinity. ... If the old rule against the exhibition of illicit sex relations on stage were revived, and the subject absolutely barred, the only result would be that Antony and Cleopatra, Othello (because of the Bianca episode), Troilus and Cressida, Henry IV, Measure for Measure, Timon of Athens, La Dame aux Camellias, The Profligate, The Second Mrs Tanqueray, The Notorious Mrs Ebbsmith, The Gay Lord Quex, Mrs Danes Defence, and Iris would be swept from the stage, and placed under the same ban as Tolstoys Dominion of Darkness and Mrs Warrens Profession, whilst such plays as the two described above would have a monopoly of the theatre as far as sexual interest is concerned....With the exception of such comments as I was able to make in my own critical articles in The World and The Saturday Review when the pieces I have described were first produced, and a few ignorant protests by churchmen against much better plays which they confessed they had not seen nor read, nothing has been said in the press that could seriously disturb the easygoing notion that the stage would be much worse than it admittedly is but for the vigilance of the Kings Reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary The story centres on the relationship between Mrs Kitty Warren and her daughter, Vivie. Mrs. Warren, a former prostitute and current brothel owner, is described as "on the whole, a genial and fairly presentable old blackguard of a woman." Vivie, an intelligent and pragmatic young woman who has just graduated from university, has come home to get acquainted with her mother for the first time in her life. The play focuses on how their relationship changes when Vivie learns what her mother does for a living. It explains why Mrs. Warren became a prostitute, condemns the hypocrisies relating to prostitution, and criticises the limited employment opportunities available for women in Victorian Britain. Plot Vivie Warren, a thoroughly modern young woman, has just graduated from the University of Cambridge with honours in Mathematics (equal Third Wrangler), and is available for suitors. Her mother, Mrs. Warren (her name changed to hide her identity and give the impression that she is married), arranges for her to meet her friend Mr. Praed, a middle-aged, handsome architect, at the home where Vivie is staying. Mrs. Warren arrives with her business partner, Sir George Crofts, who is attracted to Vivie despite their 25-year age difference. Vivie is romantically involved with the youthful Frank Gardner, who sees her as his meal ticket. His father, the (married) Reverend Samuel Gardner, has a history with Vivie''s mother. As we discover later, he may be Vivie''s out-of-wedlock father, which would make Vivie and Frank half-siblings. Mrs. Warren successfully justifies to her daughter how she chose her particular profession in order to support her daughter and give her the opportunities she never had. She saved enough money to buy into the business with her sister, and she now owns (with Sir George) a chain of brothels across Europe. Vivie is, at first, horrified by the revelation, but then lauds her mother as a champion. However, the reconciliation ends when Vivie finds out that her mother continues to run the business even though she no longer needs to. Vivie takes an office job in the city and dumps Frank, vowing she will never marry. She disowns her mother, and Mrs. Warren is left heartbroken, having looked forward to growing old with her daughter. Characters: Mrs. Kitty Warren: An attractive, middle-aged businesswoman and former prostitute, made wealthy by running a string of brothels. Mr. Praed: A friend of Mrs. Warren, middle-aged and attractive, a good man. Sir George Crofts: Mrs. Warren''s business partner. A middle-aged, stodgy, entitled member of the upper class. Reverend Samuel Gardner: A local minister and (possibly) Vivie''s biological father. Vivie Warren: Mrs. Warren''s daughter, recently graduated from university with honours. Frank Gardner: Youthful son of Reverend Gardner. Facts and Trivia: 1. BBC Television produced a television version in 1972. Produced by Cedric Messina and directed by Herbert Wise, it stars Coral Browne in the title role, with Penelope Wilton as Vivie. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy!
