WJCT Brings London's West End to Jacksonville With National Theatre Live's 'Mrs. Warren's Profession'

WJCT Public Media is giving Jacksonville audiences another chance to experience the best of British theatre without leaving town. As part of its partnership with London’s National Theatre and BY Experience, Film at WJCT Studios will screen Mrs. Warren’s Profession on Wednesday, November 5.

Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) stars alongside her daughter, Bessie Carter (Bridgerton), in George Bernard Shaw’s sharp and still-relevant drama about morality, independence and social hypocrisy. Directed by Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), the production was filmed live from London’s West End and captures the energy of the stage on screen.

“This partnership with the National Theatre and BY Experience is a unique opportunity to bring world-class theatre to Jacksonville,”said David McGowan, President and CEO of WJCT Public Media. It’s an “important addition to our regional arts and culture scene, as we bring a series of acclaimed productions by one of the world’s most acclaimed theatre companies to Jacksonville.“

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the screening beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for WJCT members and $15 for non-members. The film runs 1 hour and 56 minutes and is rated PG-13.
