Mrs. Warren’s Profession by George Bernard Shaw ~ Full Audiobook [drama]

Mrs. Warren’s Profession by George Bernard Shaw audiobook. Genre: drama In Mrs. Warren's Profession, George Bernard Shaw turns a drawing-room visit into a razor-sharp confrontation with the economics of respectability. Vivie Warren is young, brilliant, and determined to build an independent life through hard work and clear thinking. But when she finally spends time with her mother, Kitty Warren, the polished story of success that has always hovered at the edge of their relationship begins to crack. A few well-placed acquaintances gather around them - including the charming, unreliable Frank Gardner; his prudent father, the Reverend Samuel Gardner; and the wealthy, predatory Sir George Crofts - and each brings a different version of what society calls virtue, ambition, and survival. As secrets are forced into the open, Vivie must decide what kind of adult she will be, and what she owes to family, money, and a world built on double standards. Bold, witty, and unsettling, Shaw's play examines how poverty, power, and hypocrisy can shape lives, especially for women, and asks whether moral judgment is ever separable from the conditions that make certain choices seem inevitable.
