'I am my mother's daughter. I am like you. But my work is not your work, and my way is not your way.' Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Estranged from her wealthy mother, she delights in a glass of whisky, a good detective story, and is determined to carve herself a sparkling legal career in an age ruled by men. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune and paid for her daughter's expensive education - but at what cost? Director Dominic Cooke brings Bernard Shaw's incendiary moral classic crashing into the 21st century in a new version of the play, premiering at the Garrick Theatre in the West End in 2025.

Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic and political activist who wrote more than sixty plays including Pygmalion, Saint Joan, Heartbreak House and Man and Superman. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925.
