Jón Arason. A tragedy in five acts by Matthías Jochumsson.
The play about Jón Arason was Matthías Jochumson's ambitious attempt to present his work abroad. He translated the play into Danish and sent it to the Danish literary pontiff Georg Brandes for proofreading, and tried to have it translated into German. Matthías, however, was not fortunate enough to see the play on stage. It was first performed on Icelandic National Radio in 1943 and on stage at the National Theatre in 1974.
