Kepponen: Huvinäytelmä kahdessa näytöksessä
E-text prepared by Tapio Riikonen
"Kepponen: Huvinäytelmä kahdessa näytöksessä" by Ernst Lundquist is a drama written in the late 19th century. This work unfolds in a rural setting, focusing on the dynamics within a family and their interactions with a peculiar boarder, Aksel Franck. The narrative likely delves into themes of societal norms, class distinctions, and personal relationships against the backdrop of familial obligations and individual aspirations. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the idyllic yet tumultuous life at Kurman's estate, where the main characters—Kurman, his daughter Gerda, and their housekeeper Malla—are engaged in daily domestic activities. The opening scenes depict Malla waking from a nap, Kurman being lethargically dismissive about the day's happenings, and the arrival of Tiina, a servant girl, who brings mail. As they unpack the contents of the letters, they realize that their new tenant, Aksel Franck, may not be who he seems, leading to a humorous exchange that reveals the family’s growing concern about Aksel's mental state—hinted at through a mysterious anonymous letter detailing his character. This setup introduces the audience to the central conflict between the characters' perceptions and misperceptions of Aksel while setting a tone of levity intertwined with tension.
