"Love's Comedy" by Henrik Ibsen is a play that cleverly pokes fun at how society views love and marriage during the 1800s. The story kicks off one summer afternoon at Mrs. Halm's house, buzzing with her daughters and their guests. We meet people like Falk, who isn’t a fan of typical lovey-dovey stuff, and Lind, who’s super excited about getting engaged to Anna. Svanhild seems pretty independent, but she’s also dealing with what everyone expects from her. As the play begins the characters talk about their dreams which hints that love isn't always easy, and it shows how different people see love and relationships, setting the stage for a funny and thought-provoking look at what love really means.
