About This Book

A four-act domestic drama follows a bourgeois household whose members negotiate love, arranged marriage, and social display across scenes set in Constantinople and Athens. A matriarch insists on a planned match while younger women advocate education, artistic work, and personal choice; a female painter and a son’s divided affections intensify conflicts between social convenience and emotional autonomy. Episodes move from dressing-room bustle to family confrontations and quieter exchanges that reveal hypocrisy, material ambition, and emerging feminist ideas. The play stages interpersonal clashes to explore shifting gender expectations and the tension between tradition and modern self-determination.
