Pacific Resident Theatre Presents

Mrs. Warren's Profession
by George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Michael Rothhaar

In Victorian England, where women enjoy few legal rights, Kitty Warren has built an international business empire. When her daughter Vivie graduates from Cambridge, she presses her mother for answers as to their family background. The truth of how her mother survived poverty is difficult to hear; but it’s not the whole story. Shaw’s 1893 play takes a surprisingly modern view of the choices a woman must make, faced with little or no options before her, and the moral implications of economic survival.

Mrs. Warren’s Profession is a witty, brilliant, and insightful account of two women (PRT’s production features real-life mother and daughter Cyndy Fujikawa and Nell Murphy) at different points in life, who insist on choosing their own destinies. The play remains every bit as resonant and essential as it was 130 years ago. That these strong women, mother and daughter, stand opposed to each other equally armored, makes for a thrilling, poignant and unforgettable evening of one of Shaw’s greatest plays.

Abominable Sands by James Morris

An X-Games Snowboarder, fresh off what may go down as the greatest performance of all time, retreats to his late grandmother’s cabin in Sweden to focus on his “mental health.” But what awaits him there threatens to unearth haunting regrets more than bring him the peace of mind he so publicly champions.

A Visiting Production at Pacific Resident Theatre

Poor Poor Lear

A ONE-WOMAN SHOW
by Nina Sallinen and Katja Krohn
with passages by William Shakespeare

Translation and adaptation by Nina Sallinen
Directed by Katja Krohn
Performed by Nina Sallinen
Produced by Scott Jackson and Nina Sallinen

In this original dark comedy, actress Nina Sallinen portrays a 90 year-old Grande Dame (also named Nina Sallinen) of the Scandinavian Theater. The old actress has brazenly chosen Shakespeare’s King Lear as the material for her final artistic farewell performance. She has a special interest in the theme as she believes her own two daughters to be just as greedy and neglectful as King Lear’s. The performance, which she stages in her own apartment, unintentionally highlights the artist’s own life story, as she gradually becomes cognizant of the deeper parallels between her life and that of King Lear’s. Instead of shaking up her own daughters with her performance, the old diva shakes up herself. Her priorities and past choices come into question.
