NT Live - Mrs Warren's Profession
A classic play by George Bernard Shaw. Friday 24th October 2025. Doors open 7pm, screening starts 7.30. £10 in advance or on the door. Licensed bar. Nibbles.
MRS WARREN'S PROFESSION opens in UK cinemas on 23rd October. Just one day later you can see it at Rose Ash Village Hall!
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 George 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.
