George Bernard Shaw's Mrs Warren's Profession

Few dramatists shaped the course of modern British drama as much as George Bernard Shaw, who imported Ibsen's focus on social issues, realism, and a didactic or polemic drama, then combined it with an Irish wit and humor. Through his promotion of Ibsen's works, and then through his own theatre, Shaw provided a platform for much of 20th century British drama to draw on. Mrs. Warren's Profession is a late Victorian play focusing on the social issues of prostitution, capitalism, the New Woman, and the limited opportunities for poor women.
