The Amazons - A Farcical Romance by Arthur W Pinero audiobook.
Genre: comedy
In Arthur Wing Pinero's sparkling stage farce, the tranquil estate of the Marchioness of Castlejordan becomes a social minefield when her three daughters - Noeline (Noel), Wilhelmina (Willis), and Thomasin (Tommie) - reach the age when the outside world expects them to behave like proper young ladies. Their mother, having long insisted on sons, has raised them as her heirs: confident, athletic, and more comfortable with masculine freedoms than with drawing-room manners. Now, with gossip swirling and society calling, the sisters must perform a dizzying double life, switching from bold, boyish habits at home to ladylike decorum in public. Trouble arrives in the form of three determined gentlemen, each intent on courtship, and each more confused than the last by the sisters' unusual upbringing. As secret visits, overheard conversations, disguises, and well-meaning interventions pile up, the Castlejordan household becomes a whirl of misunderstandings, romantic sparks, and comic reversals. Beneath the laughter, Pinero playfully skewers rigid expectations about gender, class, and marriage - and asks whether growing up means choosing who you are, or who society demands you be.
