Produced by Nicole Apostola, and David Widger "Three Dramas" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson is a collection of three plays written during the later half of the 19th century. This anthology includes "The Editor," "The Bankrupt," and "The King," showcasing Bjørnson's personal evolution as he transitions from political activism to a focus on social philosophy through the medium of drama. Each of the plays interrogates themes of truth and morality in journalism, finance, and monarchy, encapsulating the conflicts and turbulence of societal norms and expectations during that period. The opening of "The Editor" introduces us to a cozy breakfast setting at the home of the Evjes, where discussions about the political aspirations of the young politician, Harald Rejn, create tension among the family. The drama unfolds as the presence of a malicious editor and the ramifications of public perception weigh heavily on the Evjes, especially their daughter Gertrud, who is engaged to Harald. As subplots arise surrounding family loyalty, personal sacrifice, and public scrutiny, the stage is set for a poignant examination of how personal ideals collide with societal expectations, as well as the emotional toll it takes on individuals entangled in the messy world of politics and reputation.
