Jason Furman's Reviews > Mrs. Warren's Profession

This play is about the relationship between a prostitute-turned-madam (Mrs. Warren) who returns to England to get to know her strong willed daughter Vivie who has grown up away from her and in ignorance of her mother's profession. A bunch of other men are thrown into the mix of various ages and various degrees of attraction and histories, sordid and otherwise, to Mrs. Warren and Vivie.

I loved Vivie as a character, liked Mrs. Warren, but found almost all of the men--and their relationships to each other and to the women--tiresome. Plus it all felt like a deliberately setup scenario rather than a splendidly plotted drama.
