"Yesper always says yes to everything, Noper always says no. But the thief doesn't care what either of them means, the thief only does what he wants to.
The thief has escaped the prison, and when Yesper and Noper start searching for him, they are both fooled. Yesper is far too kind, and ends up in prison instead of the thief. Luckily, things turn out well this time too, and Yesper learns that there are times when one must say NO, and Noper learns that there are times when one must say YES.
(...)
Paul-Ottar Haga performs his first assignment as a director at The Norwegian Theatre in this production. Kari Stai's simple, naivistic drawings and her contrasting couple of friends already have a large following, and the books have been declared as classics to come within children's literature."
