playwright

The theater actor emerged as a writer with stage works. He was often close to the folk piece and used both standard German and Low German . He also edited fairy tales for the theater.

After the end of the Second World War , Frost began his stage writing activity with four publications in 1946, the folk play Antje prevails , the Low German comedy Verdreihte Deerns , the comedy Sleeping Beauty , and Peter im Zauberreich , a fairy tale play.

This was followed by further fairy tale adaptations for a predominantly young theater audience such as The Swineherd (1948) and Rapunzel (1950), but also the independent fairy tale game The Lost Easter Egg (1952).

Frost's youth book Mit Pitt on Pirate Island (1952) was also "A piece for children and young people in four pictures", as the subtitle of a new edition describes.

Immortlicher Münchhausen dramatized the life of the baron of lies in 1957 , with Die heilige Brücke (1959) another comedy was created.

During Frost's activity at the Detmold State Theater, the play Caminata (1964) and Little Men Without a Name (1965) was created.

reciter

On November 14, 1968, Frost recorded a record in the series Low German Voices . He spoke baroque sermons by his compatriot Jacobus Sackman , with whom he had a special relationship, since he was already reciting them as a student.
