St. Patrick's Day; or, the Scheming Lieutenant. Finnish
Pyhän Patrikin päivä eli Luutnantin keinot: Ilveilys
Produced by Tapio Riikonen
"Pyhän Patrikin päivä eli Luutnantin keinot: Ilveilys" by Richard Brinsley Sheridan is a comedic play written during the early 19th century, specifically in the Georgian era. This lighthearted work revolves around the imperfections and follies of its characters, primarily focusing on themes of love and identity within the military context, and how they navigate social expectations and comedic misunderstandings. The story follows Lieutenant O'Connor who is in love with Lauretta, the daughter of Judge Credulus. As the plot unfolds, O'Connor disguises himself as "rehellinen Humphrey" to win Lauretta's affection, creating a series of humorous situations and misunderstandings, particularly with her overprotective father. Various soldiers and townsfolk contribute to the chaos while the judge's attempts to maintain authority contrast with the antics of the military personnel. Ultimately, the blend of disguise, love entanglements, and comedic misadventures culminates in a resolution that aligns with the festive spirit of St. Patrick's Day.
