Immenryöstö : $b Viisinäytöksinen huvinäytelmä

Set in the years after the 1905 upheavals, the play unfolds in a grand yet slightly decaying manor near Turku. The Klingenskjöld household swarms with colourful figures—a widowed matriarch, her spirited daughter, a pompous forester, a factory owner, and an eclectic cast of servants, officers and curious locals. Their tangled relationships and the looming question of a family fideicommiss create a fertile backdrop for witty social observation.

The opening scene sparks a rapid‑fire exchange between the smooth‑talking lieutenant Edvin and the flamboyant horse‑master Arvo, whose banter drifts from stale interiors to the absurdities of aristocratic tradition. Their dialogue hints at power plays over inheritance, the clash between old‑world customs and new ambitions, and a lingering, mischievous intrigue that promises both laughs and a glimpse into the family’s hidden tensions. All of this is delivered with a light, farcical tone that keeps listeners perched on the edge of each absurd exchange.
