National Theatre Live: Mrs. Warren’s Profession
September 27, 2026 | 1PM
$15 for Members | $20 for Non-Members
Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?
Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.
National Theatre Live is a telecast and not a live performance at the Museum.
National Theatre Live screenings are made possible in part by the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for Performing Arts.
