A “fresh perspective” of Mrs Warren’s Profession will be performed by the theatre company SHAW2020 at Shaw’s Corner, Ayot Saint Lawrence, near Welwyn.
When it was written in 1893, it was banned and when it was first performed in New York in 1905, all the actors and crew were arrested – but later released without charge, director Jonas Cemm said.
“It delves into the complex relationship between mother and daughter and the moral societal expectations of the day and the hypocrisy surrounding prostitution,” he said.
