Karisto Oy, $c1915. Tapio Riikonen "Tätiväkeä : Yksinäytöksinen pilakuvaus Pohjanmaalta by Aadolf Luomanen" is a one-act satirical play written in the early 20th century. Set in rural Ostrobothnia, it lampoons small-town domestic life, gossip, and everyday foibles among neighbors. The action unfolds in a cottage where hardworking Kaisa bustles while her lazy husband Matti causes a mishap with a wall clock and dough, then hides in bed guarding a secret bottle. Neighbors Maija and Sanna drop in; over endless coffee they gossip about children, servants, modern finery, and socialism, while Matti grumbles and snores. Fiija arrives with money and a long, comical letter from her man in America, which Sanna “reads” with borrowed glasses that lack lenses; this sparks talk of deaths, courtships, and the meddling village healer Liisa. Liisa bursts in to trade insults until Kaisa drives her out with a ladle. When the visitors leave, Matti wheedles for more drink, and Kaisa discovers he has drained her medicinal spirits, closing the play on affectionate squabbling and a wry wink at village chatter and small vices.
