Golden Globe Winner Sally Hawkins & More Join Cherry Jones in Mrs. Warren's Profession

Happy-Go-Lucky film star Sally Hawkins is among the complete cast announced for Roundabout Theatre Company’s upcoming Broadway production of George Bernard Shaw’s Mrs. Warren’s Profession, directed by Doug Hughes. As previously announced, Tony and Emmy Award winner Cherry Jones stars as Mrs. Warren in the Shaw classic, which begins previews September 3 at the American Airlines Theatre in anticipation of an October 3 opening.

Golden Globe winner Hawkins will make her Broadway debut as Vivie Warren. Joining her and Jones will be Adam Driver as Frank Gardner, Mark Harelik as Sir George Crofts, Edward Hibbert at Mr. Praed and Michael Siberry as Reverend Samuel Gardner.

In Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Kitty Warren (Jones) must make a terrible sacrifice for her daughter Vivie’s (Hawkins) independence. The clash of these two strong-willed but culturally constrained women is the spark that ignites the ironic wit in this dark comedy. The show originally debuted on Broadway at the Garrick Theatre in 1905, going on to enjoy revivals in 1907, 1918, 1922 and 1976.

A London native, Hawkins is best known for her award winning turn in Happy-Go-Lucky. She has been seen on stage in House of Bernarda Alba at the National Theatre, The Winterling at the Royal Court and As You Like It for the Buckingham Palace Gala. Numerous film roles include Vera Drake, All or Nothing, An Education, Layer Cake, Waz, Cassandra’s Dream, Desert Flower, Happy Ever Afters and It’s a Wonderful Afterlife.

Driver makes his Broadway debut following off-Broadway performances in shows such as Little Doc, The Forest, The Retributionists, Slipping and Cipher. Television credits include Law & Order, The Unusuals, The Wonderful Maladays and You Don’t Know Jack.

Harelik is a Broadway veteran of The Light in the Piazza and toured in The Heidi Chronicles. Off-Broadway, he has been seen in Old Money, The House in Town and The Beard of Avon. Numerous films include For Your Consideration, Election, The Job, Meeting Spencer, Timer, Eulogy, Watching the Detectives and Jurassic Park III.

Hibbert has been seen on Broadway in Curtains, The Drowsy Chaperone, Noises Off, The Green Bird, Me and My Girl and Alice in Wonderland.
