Imelda Staunton's performance in Mrs Warren's Profession at the Garrick Theatre is one of the best that I have seen for several years. She has the ability to convey every nuance of Shaw's play, a demanding piece of work, and she never relies on mere intensity, anger, or loudness instead of tone, intonation, and expression. From her first line to her last she gives a commanding performance.
From her first line to her last she gives a commanding performance. When she does finally howl, it works marvellously. This performance is not to be missed, and if you are in London in the next few weeks I would urge you to do what it takes to get a ticket.
