Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Felicity Kendal to Reprise Mrs. Warren’s Profession at the West End’s Comedy …

Felicity Kendal is to star in the West End as Mrs. Warren in a new production of Bernard Shaw’s Mrs Warren’s Profession that recently completed a U.K. tour after premiering at Bath’s Theatre Royal. It will begin performances March 16, prior to an official opening March 25, and is booking for a 14-week run through June 19.
The play, written in 1893, was originally banned by the Lord Chamberlain’s office (the U.K’s then-operating theatre censor) for its portrayal of prostitution, but was first performed under private ‘club conditions’ at London’s New Lyric Club in 1905, and publicly in New York in the same year, which led to the arrest of the entire cast and crew, but for which the house manager alone was charged. One review, in the New York Herald, called the play “Morally rotten. It defends immorality. It glorifies debaucheryŅ.”
