APRIL 1 TO NOVEMBER 2 Niagara-on-the - Shaw Festival Theatre

“I WAS A GOOD MOTHER; AND BECAUSE I MADE MY DAUGHTER
A GOOD WOMAN SHE TURNS ME OUT AS IF I WERE A LEPER.”
Shaw’s story of the ultimate test of a mother-daughter
relationship is one of his most enduring and
best-loved plays. Mrs Kitty Warren has worked hard
to provide for her daughter Vivie, to give her the
genteel upbringing she never had. Now that Vivie is
about to embark on her own career, her mother decides
that it is time for her feminist daughter to finally learn
the truth about her mother’s profession. The shocking
news sets the stage for a battle royal between mother
and daughter about sex, love, money and morality.
“Originally banned from public performance, Shaw
himself said about the play, ‘Ah, when I wrote
that, I had some nerve.’ And that nerve is brilliantly
on display in this still provocative story.” JM
Moya O’Connell, Mary Haney
and members of the Ensemble
