| Summary | "Pukkisen pidot" by Robert Kiljander is a two-act comedy likely written in the late 19th century. The play centers around Janne Pukkinen, a master tanner, his wife Laura, and his mother Anna, as they prepare for an elaborate gathering that involves various local dignitaries, showcasing the dynamics of social class and familial relationships in a small town setting. The opening of the play reveals Janne and Laura discussing the guest list for their upcoming celebration, highlighting their aspirations and concerns about social status. Janne feels uneasy about the guest list's exclusivity and the implications of their financial situation, while Laura is enthusiastic about impressing their guests. The family dynamic becomes complex with the unexpected arrival of Janne's mother, Anna, whose assertive personality adds tension, especially as she represents a more traditional and humble way of life, clashing with her children's aspirations for gentility and social acceptance. As the preparations unfold, secrets about their financial struggles surface, setting the stage for comedic disarray and conflicts during the festivities.
