NEW YORK (AP) - Tony-winning actress Cherry Jones returns to Broadway in a revival of George Bernard Shaw's "Mrs. Warren's Profession."
The controversial 19th-century family drama examines the tension between a mother and daughter after a family secret is revealed. It is regarded as one of Shaw's greatest plays.
Jones plays Kitty Warren, a woman forced to make terrible sacrifices for her family. Golden-Globe winner Sally Hawkins makes her Broadway debut as Kitty's daughter, Vivie.
Hawkins won a Golden Globe for her performance in the British film "Happy-Go-Lucky."
Jones won the Tony for her portrayal of Sister Aloysius in "Doubt." She also played President Taylor on the hit series, "24," for which she won an Emmy.
