Written in 1893 and banned from public performance in Britain for years, Mrs. Warren’s Profession is Shaw’s most provocative early play. When Vivie Warren discovers the source of the comfortable life her mother has provided — a chain of continental brothels — the play refuses to offer easy moral judgments, instead dissecting the economic conditions that make such choices rational.
A landmark of social realist drama, the play remains startlingly relevant. This free EPUB presents the complete text, cleanly formatted for any e-reader.
