"Reportedly banned for 8 years in England, the ideas presented are still as provocative and relevant as ever -- in examining power, class, sex, and the world's oldest profession. George Bernard Shaw was ahead of his time in his ability to portray independent, spirited, intelligent women in his plays. I think this play would make for an amazing book club discussion. I totally regret that our book club last year chose to read Major Barbara by Shaw instead of Mrs. Warren's Profession."
"It is a funny play about a madam of a house of prostitution that somehow manages not to use that word. I found this play to be highly entertaining, a view of a wierd family dynamic and how it comes apart. Shaw is rarely staged in the U. S. and this is a shame. I want to discover more by him."
