Seuranäytelmiä ; 212 Tapio Riikonen "Egyptin pimeys: Kolminäytöksinen maalaisnäytelmä lauluineen" by Kaarle Halme is a rural play with songs, likely written in the early 20th century. The play revolves around the Mahlamäki household and their farmhands, focusing on love, mistaken identities, and the social expectations of a Finnish rural community. The central characters include Anna, the daughter of Manu Mahlamäki, and love interests including Eero, a mysterious new farmhand, and suitors such as the siltavouti Töyry and Tarhalammin Taneli. The story appears to explore themes like family loyalty, romantic intrigue, and class distinction within the countryside. The opening of the play introduces the principal characters and sets up their relationships and personalities through detailed stage directions and dialogue. The first act primarily centers on playful banter and romantic jousting between Kaisu and Junnu, Eero’s flirtation with Anna, and the tensions that arise from outsiders' suspicions toward Eero. As the plot unfolds, Anna is pressured by her father to choose between more socially advantageous marriage matches, while her real affections are for Eero, whose mysterious past and lack of credentials arouse local gossip. The ensuing acts depict misunderstandings, secret letters, and comic situations—culminating in moments of confrontation, emotional appeals, and, ultimately, the resolution of mistaken identities and true love.
