Ei sitä voi koskaan tietää
Produced by Tapio Riikonen
"Ei sitä voi koskaan tietää" by Bernard Shaw is a play written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a dentist's office and revolves around the interactions between the young dentist, Mr. Valentine, and his first patient, a charming young woman named Dolly. The narrative explores social themes, personal identity, and the dynamics of class and relationships during its time. The opening of the play introduces us to a stylish dental office in a seaside resort, where Valentine is performing his first extraction on Dolly. Their banter reveals much about their characters; Valentine exhibits a mix of professionalism and lighthearted humor, while Dolly displays both curiosity and a touch of mischief. As they engage in playful conversation, we meet Dolly's brother, Philip, who further complicates the dynamics as he introduces the idea that they may be of notable lineage, setting the stage for the exploration of their family identity throughout the play. The dialogue is rich with humor and social commentary, capturing the atmosphere of the era while hinting at deeper, uncharted familial connections. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
