Full casting has been revealed for the upcoming West End revival of George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession, set to begin May 10 at the Garrick Theatre ahead of a May 22 opening night.
As previously announced, the production will be a family affair, with four-time Olivier winner Imelda Staunton co-starring alongside daughter and Bridgerton star Bessie Carter. The run will continue through August 16.
Newly announced to be joining Staunton as Mrs. Kitty Warren and Carter as Vivie Warren are Kevin Doyle as Reverend Samuel Gardner, Robert Glenister as Sir George Crofts, Reuben Joseph as Frank Gardner, and Sid Sagar as Mr. Praed. Casting is by Amy Ball.
Dominic Cooke will direct, reuniting with Staunton after collaborating on previous revivals of Hello, Dolly! and Follies. Sonia Friedman is producing.
Also newly announced is the creative team, which will include designer Chloe Lamford, lighting designer Jon Clark, and sound designer Christopher Shutt.
The play sees a young woman coming home to meet her mother for the first time, only to find out that she's a former prostitute-turned-brothel madam. Early performances of the work, which questions societal assumptions about sex work, were censored and banned, but has since become a stage classic. Broadway's most recent revival, in 2010, starred Cherry Jones in the title role.
