Vanha koti: Kolminäytöksinen näytelmä

In a cluttered, old‑fashioned drawing‑room of a countryside manor, the aging merchant Jynkkä presides over a morning ritual of coffee and idle chatter. Joined by his stout housekeeper Fiina, his son Iisakki, grandchildren and other family members, the scene crackles with the worries of a generation on the brink of change. Their conversation drifts from the state of the house to the uncertain futures of the younger kin, hinting at a family caught between tradition and modernity.

The play unfolds in three acts, each exposing the delicate balance between duty and desire as the characters confront love, ambition, and the weight of inheritance. Jynkkä’s stubborn adherence to old customs clashes with the restless energy of his grandchildren, while Fiina’s pragmatic humor offers a grounding counterpoint. As the audience listens, the familiar domestic setting becomes a microcosm for broader societal shifts, promising an intimate yet thought‑provoking exploration of family ties in a rapidly evolving world.
