Mevr. Warren's Bedrijf by Bernard Shaw
QR code
"Mevr. Warren's Bedrijf" by Bernard Shaw is a problem play written in 1893. When accomplished university graduate Vivie Warren finally meets her distant mother, she discovers the shocking truth about how Mrs Warren built her fortune. The play examines the economic forces that drive women into prostitution and challenges Victorian moral hypocrisy. As Vivie grapples with her mother's past and present choices, their relationship fractures over questions of necessity, respectability, and independence.
Shaw crafted this controversial work to expose how poverty, not immorality, creates prostitution. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
