The Death of Balder

"The Death of Balder" by Johannes Ewald Johannes Ewald was a Danish national dramatist, psalm writer and poet. This play brings audiences into the wilderness of Norway and right into Norse mythology. Epic battles, triumphant victories, and crushing defeats mark this play and have made it a favorite among theater-goers since it was first performed. Written in a visceral and descriptive manner, the story of the Balder and his death play just as vividly in a reader's mind as they would on a stage.
