Play written by Arthur Wing Pinero From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Amazons: A Farcical Romance is an 1893 play by Arthur Wing Pinero.[1][2]
The play subsequently opened the Royal Court Theatre on 7 March 1893 and ran for 111 performances until 8 July 1893. It subsequently opened at the Lyceum Theatre on 19 February 1894.[3]
The plot involves three sisters (Noeline/Noel, Wilhelmina/Willis, and Thomasin/Tommie) raised by their aristocratic father as his male heirs. They have trouble adjusting to society.[4]
The play was revived (again with Billie Burke) and opened at the Empire Theatre on 28 April 1913.[5] The revival included the song "My Otaheitee lady" with music by Jerome Kern, using lyrics by the deceased Charles H. Taylor.[6]
In 1917 it was adapted as a film of the same name.
