Pyhän Patrikin päivä eli Luutnantin keinot: Ilveilys

"Pyhän Patrikin päivä eli Luutnantin keinot: Ilveilys" by Richard Brinsley Sheridan is an 18th-century farce first performed in 1775. Lieutenant O'Connor loves Lauretta, but her jealous father Justice Credulous keeps them apart. With help from his friend Dr. Rosy, the lieutenant devises increasingly elaborate disguises to trick the Justice and win his beloved. Through comic schemes involving fake servants and poisonings, O'Connor attempts to outwit the obstinate father in this playful tale of romantic persistence.
