Mrs. Warren’s Profession by Bernard Shaw

One of George Bernard Shaw’s problem plays, ‘Mrs. Warren’s Profession’ was first staged in the year 1902. The play is about a woman who runs a brothel, Mrs. Warren and her coming to terms with her daughter who finds it unimaginable to approve of her mother’s profession. Through this play, Shaw has insisted that the act of prostitution is not always caused by moral failure but by economic necessity too.
