Inhaltsangabe

George Bernard Shaw, (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright. He is the only person to have been awarded both the Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938).

Mrs. Warren's Profession was written in 1893 and first performed in London in 1902. The play is about a former prostitute, now a brothel proprietor, who attempts to come to terms with her disapproving daughter. It is a problem play, offering social commentary to illustrate Shaw's belief that the act of prostitution was not caused by moral failure but by economic necessity. Elements of the play were borrowed from Shaw's 1882 novel Cashel Byron's Profession, about a man who becomes a boxer due to limited employment opportunities.
