"Onhan Pappa Sen Sallinut": Ilveily Yhdessä Näytöksessä

''Onhan pappa sen sallinut'' : Ilveily yhdessä näytöksessä by Moser and L'Arronge is a comedic one-act stage play (a farce) written in the late 19th century. It playfully examines literary vanity, youthful infatuation, and parental permission, as a zeal for poetry and drama sparks a chain of misunderstandings in a respectable household. Set in Dr. Teitti’s home, the farce follows the flustered writer as he’s besieged by a would‑be dramatist (Aurora), a domineering butcher father (Raninen), and Raninen’s dreamy daughter Aina. When Aina arrives to meet the renowned author, she mistakes Teitti’s nephew Kaarlo for him; the pair exchange flirtatious “lessons” in poetry, emboldened by her refrain that “father has allowed it.” Martta, Teitti’s practical wife, adds to the comic friction, while Raninen storms in to accuse the aging author of leading his daughter astray. Names are mixed up, tempers flare, and Teitti tries to shoo away Aurora and her sprawling “family drama.” In the end, the confusions resolve: Raninen blesses Aina’s match with Kaarlo, grievances are buried, and the curtain falls on a cheerful reconciliation grounded—humorously—on what papa has permitted.
