ADVISORY

Recommended for Ages 16+

Opening the 2013 season, George Bernard Shaw’s penetrating and entertaining look at mothers, daughters and the idea of a “woman’s place.” Mrs. Warren has worked hard to provide a good life for her daughter.

Armed with wicked wit and astute insight, Shaw pits mother against daughter to expose the passionate societal struggles taking place beneath the polished veneer of Victorian society.
