Tapio Riikonen "Retusen velkojat: Ilveily 1:ssä näytöksessä" by Evald Jakku is a comedic play written in the early 20th century. This work, set in a modestly furnished living room, revolves around the chaotic and humorous interactions of a couple, Pekka and Kaisa Retunen, as they deal with their debts and the persistent arrival of creditors. The play explores themes of desperation, resourcefulness, and the lengths to which people will go to avoid their financial responsibilities. The story unfolds as Pekka Retunen contemplates his debt-laden life and concocts a plan to pretend to be dead in order to evade his creditors. Kaisa reluctantly goes along with his plan, even as various debt collectors arrive, leading to hilarious misunderstandings and antics. With each creditor believing Pekka to be deceased, the couple manages to dodge payments while dealing with their crumbling domestic life. As the plot progresses, the humor escalates through their interactions, culminating in a comical exploration of deceit, desperation, and the consequences of their financial recklessness. Ultimately, the play presents a lively commentary on debt and societal expectations, wrapped in a farcical narrative.
