The Norwegian Touring Theatre's 2007 production of Powder Witch was the first theatre production based on the Powder Witch books.
Thomassen, Tindberg and Andersen all had the same functions in The Norwegian Touring Theatre's former Powder Witch productions, Powder Witch (2007, see link above) and Pulverheksa og julenissen* (Powder Witch and Father Christmas) (2009).
"Everyone is looking forward to the great ball at the dream prince. But… not all is as its usual in Powder Wood. The thief is angry at the police man and refuses to go on being a thief. And the police man is grumpy with the thief because he will be out of work if the thief stops thieving. None of them want to go to the ball if the other is going to be there. And the crocodile dreads winter, so he is wondering if he should move to Africa.
All of this makes the dream prince so sad, he no longer wants to be a dream prince. Besides, there is a huge, scary creature moving about in between the trees, leaving enormous footprints, and scaring everyone. What is happening in Powder Wood? Is the party off? Everything was so idyllic in the nicest Powder Wood in the world. Perhaps Powder Witch could help?"
