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.
