Dramatic adaptation of Upton Sinclair's novel The millennium. Tapio Riikonen "Tuhatvuotinen valtakunta : Nelinäytöksinen näytelmä Upton Sinclairin romaanin…" by Heikki Välisalmi is a four-act play written in the early 20th century. Set in a gaudy pleasure-palace of the third millennium, it satirizes plutocratic power and spiritual emptiness as a scientific super-weapon imperils humanity. The drama centers on engineer Billy Kingdon, the oligarch Lumley-Gotham, his daughter Helena, and the cynical statesman Granville, fusing futuristic spectacle with class struggle and moral choice. Expect a dystopian political allegory where survival, love, and the collapse of social conventions collide. The opening of the play unfolds in the Huvipalatsi: Billy, undercover as an airship captain, reunites with Helena and urges a clandestine escape, but Granville intercepts them; she prevents Billy from shooting him, and Billy is jailed. Amid a parade of vain guests, the frail magnate Lumley-Gotham frets over security and a new element, “radiumiitti”; when word arrives that its inventor might unleash it, panic erupts. The party stampedes onto a giant aircraft Billy can pilot, abandoning others as an unseen catastrophe wipes out life below. Six hours later the survivors return to a silent, frozen palace dotted with ash, discover there are no servants or systems to rely on, and watch the butler Tuttle turn mutinous while Granville drinks and jeers. Billy scouts the dead city, confirms the emptiness, proclaims a “year one” without property or old marriages, and publicly claims a future with Helena as the scene breaks off.
