About Mrs. Warren's Profession

Mrs Warren's Profession is a 1893 play by George Bernard Shaw, first performed in London in 1902. It was included in Shaw's 1898 collection Plays Unpleasant, alongside The Philanderer and Widowers' Houses. The story concerns a former prostitute, now a madam, who attempts to come to terms with her disapproving daughter. It is a problem play, offering social commentary to argue that prostitution was not caused by moral failure but by economic necessity. Shaw borrowed several elements from his own 1882 novel Cashel Byron's Profession, about a man who becomes a boxer due to limited employment opportunities.
