Anna Liisa

Synopsis

Anna Liisa is a play in three acts written by Minna Canth, which debuted in 1895 in Finnish. It was premiered at the Finnish Theatre and has since been shown repeatedly in international theaters. Anna Liisa was the last play written by Canth, and is a significant departure from her usual realist writings in that the final act of the play contains a deus ex machina. Canth's second tragedy deals with a conservative Finnish village, and events that transpire surrounding the discovery of a newborn's murder by the titular character, Anna Liisa. There have also been multiple film adaptations of the play.
