Mrs. Warren's Profession

This was a controversial play when it first staged.  It only lasted a night.  It’s about a daughter who never really has known her mother.  She just begins to know her and is horrified that her mother owns a brothel.  Also, the boy she is interested in is her half-brother.  This play deals with hypocrisy as the girl didn’t mind her mother paying for her education but from a brothel well that’s different.  I didn’t pick a side when I was reading as I could see where both women come from.  I was shocked when I found out that my library didn’t have a George Bernard Shaw play in their collection.  Shouldn’t he be mandatory to libraries?
