So what is 'Mrs Warren's Profession'? Yes, you guessed it. This is the 1890s and Mrs Warren is keeping her daughter financially secure in Britain whilst she pursues her profession across Europe. When Mrs Warren returns to Britain with three of her ardent admirers in tow, the daughter, a wilful young woman of her own, learns a thing or two about her mother...and life.
The Sydney Theatre Company's staging of George Bernard Shaw's play might seem a little quaint in language and costume today but the feminist message comes across as very modern.
The cast is strong with Helen Thomson (Mrs Warren), Lizzie Schebesta (the daughter) and Eamon Farren (the daughter's pursuer) stand outs.
★★★1/2
