(Alfred Edward Woodley) 1865 1948 Mason, Alfred Edward Woodley Green Stockings: A Comedy in Three Acts Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by the Web Archive "Green Stockings: A Comedy in Three Acts" by A. E. W. Mason is a theatrical play written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the lives and relationships of the Faraday family, particularly focusing on their eldest daughter, Celia, and her perceived struggles with marriage and societal expectations. The play captures the themes of love, family dynamics, and societal pressures with a comedic tone, reflecting the norms and customs of its time. At the start of the play, the scene is set in the elegant drawing room of the Faraday household, where the characters engage in lively conversation about the return of Celia, who has been away for a week. The dialogue introduces the characters, revealing their personalities and relationships. Phyllis is eager to marry but feels overshadowed by her older sister Celia, whom the others view as a spinster. A sense of urgency develops as it becomes clear that Celia’s presence complicates Phyllis's romantic intentions with Bobby Tarver. As the act unfolds, Celia arrives home drenched from the rain, hinting at her resilience despite her social circumstances and the jokes made about her by the family. The lighthearted banter gradually reveals deeper tensions regarding marriage and independence, setting the stage for Celia's pivotal role in the unfolding comedy and her unconventional approach to navigating her societal constraints.
