The Political Tinker

The Political Tinker (1940) was a theatre production by The National Stage, based on the comedy by Ludvig Holberg. The opening marked the 90th anniversary since Ole Bull's theatre, Det Norske Theater, opened, also with a production of a Holberg play. The production was performed at the theatre's main stage.

Karl Bergmann directed it. He had directed the same play for the same theatre in 1919.

Karl Bergmann also played the role of the tinker, Herman von Bremen.
