Green Stockings: A Comedy in Three Acts

"Green Stockings: A Comedy in Three Acts" by A. E. W. Mason is a play that explores the Faraday family's relationships, especially their eldest daughter Celia’s position in society. The story unfolds in their drawing room, filled with talk of Celia’s return and Phyllis’s eagerness to marry Bobby Tarver. This is difficult because because the family views Celia as unlikely to marry, which complicates Phyllis’s plans. When Celia arrives home, soaked and seemingly unaffected by society's expectations, the play begins to examine marriage, freedom, and Celia’s unique way of facing social pressures.
