Olivier-award nominee Caroline Quentin stars alongside her real-life daughter Rose Quentin in Mrs Warren's Profession at the Cambridge Arts Theatre.
George Bernard Shaw's witty and provocative play - depicting a mother-daughter relationship - was written in 1894 but banned for 30 years.
This touring production from the Theatre Royal Bath stars Caroline Quentin, who is twice winner of the British Comedy Award for Best Comedy Actress.
Her many television roles include Men Behaving Badly, Kiss Me Kate and Jonathan Creek and the 2020 season of Strictly Come Dancing.
She recently received an Olivier award nomination for the National Theatre's production of Jack Absolute Flies Again.
The role of Sir George Crofts is played by Simon Shepherd, who stars as Dr Will Preston in ITV's Peak Practice.
Caroline's daughter Rose plays Mrs Warren's daughter Vivie. Shortly after graduating in 2019, Rose starred in the horror movie York Witches Society, and recently originated the role of Katrina Van Tassel in the stage version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
They are joined by Matthew Cottle as Reverend Gardner, Stephen Rahman-Hughes as Mr Praed and Peter Losasso as Frank Gardner.
In the play, Mrs Warren's daughter Vivie has never really known much about her mother.
A sensible young woman, she has enjoyed a comfortable upbringing. Is it conceivable that her privilege and respectablity has been financed from the profits of the world's oldest profession?
