| Summary |
"Sanny Kortmanin koulu" by Robert Kiljander is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Sanny Kortman, the headmistress of a girls' school in a small town, and explores themes of authority, education, and the interpersonal dynamics among teachers and students. The characters include various teachers, a postmaster, and Sanny's niece, Liisi, each contributing to the unfolding conflicts surrounding the management of the school. At the start of the play, we witness a glimpse into the daily life within Sanny's school as characters engage in a series of humorous and contentious exchanges that reveal underlying tensions. The opening scenes introduce key figures, including Juonas, the caretaker, and various teachers, who discuss Sanny's strict leadership and the challenges they face within the school environment. A postmaster brings letters that hint at romantic entanglements among the students, and the interactions highlight both the personal struggles of the characters and their professional obligations, setting the stage for conflicts that will follow as the characters navigate their roles in the institution.
