"Three Comedies" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson is a collection of three plays that investigates love, family struggles, and what society expects, through characters who deal with the ups and downs of their relationships. The opening play, "The Newly-Married Couple," sets the scene with Laura and Axel getting ready for a ball, but the mood shifts when Laura's mom feels sick and thinks Laura should stay home. Axel wants to go, which starts a disagreement about how much Laura should focus on her family versus their marriage. This play is filled with loyalty, love, and the fight to be independent. The characters must make difficult choices between what they want and what their family and society expect of them.

Summary
About the AuthorBjørnstjerne Martinius Bjørnson was a Norwegian writer who received the 1903 Nobel Prize in Literature "as a tribute to his noble, magnificent and versatile poetry, which has always been distinguished by both the freshness of its inspiration and the rare purity of its spirit". The first Norwegian Nobel laureate, he was a prolific polemicist and extremely influential in Norwegian public life and Scandinavian cultural debate. Bjørnson is considered to be one of the four great Norwegian writers, alongside Ibsen, Lie, and Kielland.

The composer Fredrikke Waaler based a composition for voice and piano on a text by Bjørnson, as did Anna Teichmüller.
