Kjærlighet* (Love)
Kjærlighet* (Love) (1940) was a theatre production by The National Stage, based on a play by Kaj Munk. The production was performed in Ole Bull Teatret.
Egil Hjorth-Jenssen directed it.
Andreas Bjarke played the role of the priest Einar Kargo.
Kjærlighet was revived after the liberation of Norway in 1945, at the time performed at the theatre's main stage, with some changes in the cast. Seven performances were given during this season. Kaj Munk was killed by Nazis in January 1944, and before the opening performance June 12, 1945, an eulogy for him was held.
