Mrs. Warren’s Profession
by Bernard Shaw
directed by Dominic Cooke#

Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life
daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in
Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old
patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?
Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic
Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions
and progress.

A couple check into the Cross Keys, Peebles, for a Christmas break. Their happy interlude is shattered by the spectre of Meg Ritchie, who has haunted the hostelry for many years. The foetid, paranoid atmosphere of witch hunting Peebles in 1629 erupts into the present, bringing with it the stench of burnt flesh and lost hopes.

When past and present collide, whom should you fear , whom should you trust…?

We are delighted to be included in the first tour of this new play by Borders writer Kath Mansfield.  The play explores the witch hysteria that affected much of Europe through the 16th and 17th centuries and brings to life the stories of some of its Scottish victims.

Tickets £14  (£10 age 16 or under) from the link below or can be purchased from Merry and Bright, High St., Biggar.
