Mrs Warren's Profession: Tickets now on sale
Tickets are now on sale for the Roundabout Theatre Company's Broadway revival of George Bernard Shaw's Mrs Warren's Profession, opening at the American Airlines Theatre on 3 Oct 2010, following previews from 3 Sep, for a limited engagement through to 21 Nov 2010.
The comedy, directed by Tony Award winner Doug Hughes ('Doubt'), will star Tony Award winner Cherry Jones ('Doubt' & 'The Heiress') as 'Kitty Warren' and will see Golden Globe winner Sally Hawkins make her Broadway debut as 'Vivie Warren.'
The show will also feature Adam Driver (Frank Gardner), Mark Harelik (Sir George Crofts), Edward Hibbert (Mr. Praed) and Michael Siberry (Reverend Samuel Gardner).
Mrs Warren's Profession: Tells the story of Kitty Warren, a mother who makes a terrible sacrifice for her daughter Vivie's independence. The clash of these two strong-willed but culturally constrained women is the spark that ignites the ironic wit of what many believe to be one of Shaw's greatest plays.
The design team includes Scott Pask (Sets), Catherine Zuber (Costumes), Kenneth Posner (Lights) and David Van Tieghem (Sound).
Mrs Warren's Profession premiered on Broadway in 1905 at the Garrick Theatre and subsequently was revived on Broadway in 1907, 1918, 1922 and 1976.
