Tony®-winning director Doug Hughes and Tony®-winning star Cherry Jones astonished Broadway with their work in the smash-hit play Doubt. Now this highly-acclaimed pair reunites in Roundabout Theatre Company's production of George Bernard Shaw's scorching tour de force. Joining Ms. Jones is Golden Globe winner Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky) in her Broadway debut!
The Roundabout Theater's new production of Shaw's notorious early play, about a daughter who discovers that her upbringing has been financed by her mother's business of ill repute, is not terrible, just uninvolving.
With its sharp and witty observations about sex and class, freedom and oppression, and mothers and daughters, there's plenty to recommend in George Bernard Shaw's 'Mrs. Warren's Profession.' As for the Roundabout's revival of the 1893 play directed by Doug Hughes, not quite so much -- despite catnip casting of Cherry Jones in the title role of Kitty Warren. She's the low-born enterpriser who uses prostitution to ensure her Cambridge-educated daughter, Vivie, independence in late Victorian England.
