Caroline and Rose Quentin to star in MRS WARREN'S PROFESSION at Theatre Royal Bath and on tour

Theatre Royal Bath Productions will present George Bernard Shaw’s Mrs Warren’s Profession from 9 November, starring mother and daughter Caroline Quentin and Rose Quentin as Mrs Warren and her daughter Vivie.  

Directed by Anthony Banks and designed by David Woodhead, Mrs Warren’s Profession will open at the Theatre Royal Bath before touring, with venues and full casting to be announced.

Mrs Warren’s daughter Vivie has never really known much about her mother. A sensible young woman, she has enjoyed a comfortable upbringing, a Cambridge education, a generous monthly allowance and now has ambitions to go into Law. Is it conceivable that her privilege and respectability has been financed from the profits of the world's oldest profession? How will Vivie react when she finds out the startling truth about her mother’s business empire and that freedom comes at an emotional price?

Shaw’s acid test of a mother-daughter relationship is one of his most witty and provocative plays. Written in 1894 but banned for thirty years by a Lord Chamberlain who found it "immoral and improper", Mrs Warren’s Profession is a ripe attack on English hypocrisy and its "fashionable morality"

Twice winner of the British Comedy Award for Best Comedy Actress, Caroline Quentin’s many television roles have ranged from Men Behaving Badly, Kiss Me Kate and Jonathan Creek to Stephen Poliakoff’s Dancing on the Edge, and the 2020 season of Strictly Come Dancing.

Shortly after graduating in 2019, Rose Quentin starred in the horror movie York Witches Society, and recently created the role of Katrina Van Tassel on tour in the stage version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with Wendi Peters and Bill Ward.
