"Basilleja: 3-näytöksinen ilveily" by Martti Wuori is a play written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds during a cholera epidemic in a summer villa near a railway station in Uusimaa, Finland, introducing its central characters, including Torsti Turdén and his wife Tuttu, alongside a cast of relatives and friends arriving at their summer retreat. The dialogue showcases their interactions and witty banter, setting the stage for comedic and dramatic tensions in their lives as they deal with unexpected guests and the looming specter of disease. The opening of the play immerses readers in a lively conversation between Torsti and his wife Tuttu, who is feeling isolated in the villa. As they discuss their grievances and outlook on life, the arrival of multiple relatives is foreshadowed, particularly the unanticipated presence of Tuttu’s mother and sister. The dialogue blends humor with anxiety, reflecting their concerns about the cholera outbreak and the stressful changes in their domestic life. This interplay hints at potential conflicts and comedic scenarios as the story begins to unfold, establishing a foundation for intrigue in the gatherings that will ensue.
