Lamar University’s theatre and dance department will present the George Bernard Shaw play “Mrs. Warren’s Profession,” Oct. 29 to Nov. 1, in the Studio Theatre.
Showtimes: Oct. 29 -31 at 7:30 p.m., and Nov. 1 at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $15 for general admission; $10 for senior citizens, students and LU faculty/staff, and $7 for LU students.
In the Joel Grothe-directed play, Vivie Warren is a promising young woman; a recent college graduate with a career waiting for her in London who has always had everything she’s ever wanted because of the generosity of her mother. However, this mother — Mrs. Warren — is a mysterious woman whom Vivie barely knows. When her mother surprises Vivie on a visit with several of her friends, Vivie confronts her mother about her career and her past, and what follows is a free-wheeling argument about the relationships between family, gender, economy and morality.
“Mrs. Warren’s Profession,” first written in 1894 and not staged for another 10 years because of its controversial subject matter, still resonates more than 100 years later as one of the greatest plays written in the English language.
The Studio Theatre is located at 4400 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway.
