This play first performed in 1902 deals with bold themes for the time, with the title character a former prostitute and now owner of a brothel which is a successful business; none of this is explicitly stated , but the inferences are clear. The key relationship is between her and her daughter Vivie, and there are some sharp dramatic scenes, after a slow start in what comes across as a rather inconsequential Act I. A good read. ( ) A young professional man wishes to marry a young lady, or so she seems. But she has been raised as an upper middle class girl and does not know that she is the unacknowledged bastard of a businessman, and his mistress who is a madam with an extensive clientelle. All the parents get involved in the young couple's plans, and fireworks result. Sadly there are resonances with today's world still. the play was written in 1894, when it was censred and some uproae ensued. A protagonista é uma mulher que enriqueceu como cafetina e dá a sua única filha uma educação elitista, mantendo-a na total ignorância de sua verdadeira profissão. Mas a revelação da origem de sua riqueza e ascensão social vem perturbar a tranqüilidade burguesa na qual vive a família. Shaw, especializado em escrever peças de tese, redigiu esta comédia dramática entre 1893 e 1894. Era uma de suas Unpleasant Plays. Plateias atuais, pasmem, ainda reagem à altura do adjetivo ' unpleasant' e do debate social aí intrínseco. De todo modo, a peça permanece uma das melhores do autor, junto com Homem e Super-homem, Pigmalião e Don Juan No Inferno aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Read the controversial play that caused an international sensation when it was first performed. George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession takes a frank and matter-of-fact look at the world's oldest profession and makes an explicit link between the second-class citizenship that has been foisted upon women for thousands of years and the persistence of prostitution as an occupation. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
