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 stage play.

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? This powerful drama explores themes of gender roles, and social change.

Filmed live in the London West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress in this critically acclaimed theatre production.

A production from Sonia Friedman Productions.

Filmed by National Theatre Live, this acclaimed British theatre production is now available to watch online.

Run time: 1 hour and 57 minutes (including a short interval)
