Sirkku Peltola (1960) is a noteworthy drama writer of present-day Finnish literature. His characters may be funny and strange, maybe even resemble a caricature but they are also recognizably true to life. Peltola's text is at the same time funny and tragic, warm and insulting, and his language contemporary.
