Eduskuntalaisten koulu: 1-näytöksinen pila

In a cramped, over‑filled apartment that doubles as a makeshift lecture hall, a one‑act farce unfolds around the chaotic auction of a disgraced parliamentarian’s belongings. The stage is populated by the exuberant actor Veikkanen, who fancies himself a political tutor, his sharp‑tongued partner Anna, and a parade of parliamentary figures such as lehtori Hirvenrinta and Dr. Wahlbom. Their rapid‑fire dialogue stitches together jokes about class conflict, theatrical pay, and the absurdities of legislative life.

The humor is razor‑sharp, turning the cramped storage‑room set‑piece into a stage for satire on modern politics and the theatre world alike. Listeners hear witty exchanges about auctioneering socialist relics, salary negotiations, and the ever‑present clash of ideology and ambition. The play offers a lively snapshot of early‑20th‑century Finnish political theatre, inviting the audience to laugh at the performative nature of power while the characters scramble to rearrange furniture and rhetoric alike.
