Nummisuutarit by Aleksis Kivi

"Nummisuutarit" by Aleksis Kivi is a play written in 1864. Greedy cobbler Topias and his wife Martta scheme to marry off their dim-witted son Esko first to claim an inheritance, threatening their foster daughter Jaana's chance at love. Their machinations lead to mistaken deals, brawls, drunken misadventures, and elaborate deceptions. Meanwhile, Jaana's long-lost sailor father returns with plans to help his daughter, setting the stage for comic chaos across Finnish villages and forests.
