This original adaptation remained, for a long time, the only stage version personally approved by the world-famous children\u2019s book author.

Enckell, previously known as Paasonen, pulls a pile of Astrid Lindgren\u2019s typewritten letters from a bag. Astrid\u2019s voice still comes through in the nearly 40-year-old pages \u2013 polite, kind, and witty, but also firm. She is a woman who knows exactly what she wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201dDear Georg Dolivo and Annina Paasonen, thank you for your letter! It would be such fun to see my work performed at Svenska Teatern again, but I\u2019m sorry to say that I don\u2019t wish to part with Ronia! I\u2019m thinking of dramatising the book myself eventually, but at the moment that isn\u2019t possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This first letter marked the start of a persistent correspondence between Svenska Teatern and the world-famous author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; We had actually intended to produce an entirely different children\u2019s play. But our resident stage director, Erik P\u00f6ysti, became absolutely enraptured with the book after his wife read it for their children, Oskar and Alma P\u00f6ysti, during a road trip in Italy. Erik came racing to me and Georg and announced that we simply had to get Ronia on stage, Annina Enckell reminisces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book had only been published five years earlier, and no one had yet secured the rights for a stage adaptation. Enckell and Dolivo decided to write to Lindgren directly. Although she was familiar with the theatre, she still intended to adapt the book herself and was reluctant to give up creative control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 It was always exciting when a new letter from Astrid arrived. She would always reply quickly, sometimes in just two days. We understood that we had to follow her lead \u2013 to do things exactly as she wanted, Annina remembers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Svenska Teatern was running out of time \u2014 a children\u2019s production was expected to open that same autumn. Should Astrid bestow the theatre the rights to the book, Annina would only have the summer months to complete the adaption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Svenska Teatern held a special place in Astrid Lindgren\u2019s heart<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On March 3rd 1987, Astrid finally shows signs of relenting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201dDear Annina Paasonen. The other night, when I was lying awake, I thought to myself: \u201dWhen do you honestly think you\u2019ll have the time to adapt Ronia?\u201d I answered my own question: \u201dPerhaps once I\u2019ve turned 95 \u2013 and by then the result will be as one might expect.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Astrid suggested that she and stage director Erik P\u00f6ysti could \u201dcollaborate a little,\u201d since he \u201cknew much more about theatrical solutions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter continues: \u201dIf you are interested in my suggestion, that wouldn\u2019t meant that I\u2019d be granting the rights to any other theatre by default. But I feel that Svenska Teatern holds such a special place in my heart, so please let me know what you think of this suggestion! With warm regards from your sister nation, Astrid Lindgren\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Erik and I taped a large white sheet over an entire wall on the Nicken stage (Svenska Teatern\u2019s smaller stage). We sketched the story on it, arranging key scenes from the book that we felt were most relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/svenskateatern.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Astridbrev.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"867\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/svenskateatern.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Astridbrev-867x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svenskateatern.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Astridbrev-867x1024.jpg 867w, https:\/\/svenskateatern.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Astridbrev-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/svenskateatern.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Astridbrev-768x907.jpg 768w, https:\/\/svenskateatern.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Astridbrev.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 575px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 510px, (max-width: 991px) 290px, (max-width: 1199px) 530px, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Astrid was sent a copy of the scenic breakdown and concluded that it was probably for the best if Annina adapted the story. On May 5th, Astrid suggested that the theatre use a recent film adaptation from 1984 as the basis for the production: \u201dI\u2019ve also come to the conclusion that my eyesight is far too poor to allow me to write any dialogue.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The letters reveal how Astrid continues to focus on details. She questions whether it\u2019s appropriate for Ronia to sing the Wolf Song (sw: Vargs\u00e5ngen) when her foot gets stuck in the Rumphobs\u2019 (sw: Rumpnissar) burrow. \u201cI definitely don\u2019t believe that she would do that; I think she would be far too distressed and scared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But one can also sense Astrid\u2019s enthusiasm: \u201cI\u2019m very much looking forward to seeing the play, it looks like it\u2019s going to be absolutely magnificent. Of course, Svenska Teatern has every theatrical resource one can think of at its disposal.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Tove Jansson and Astrid Lindgren meet on the opening night<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In September, Astrid Lindgren approved Annina\u2019s adaptation and described it as \u201dvery good\u201d. She only questioned how the theatre would solve the issue with the Greedy Falls (sw: Glupafallet), demonstrating her characteristic consideration for her readers. \u201cThere is one thing I\u2019m a little concerned about: Jutto\u2019s stammering. In a way, it does mock people with disabilities, which audience members with stammers might find hurtful. Jutto could just be a regular fool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ronia, the Robber\u2019s daughter was Astrid Lindgren\u2019s final novel, written when she was 72. Only six years after its first publication, on 4 December 1987, Lindgren attended the world premiere of its stage adaptation at Svenska Teatern. She had requested to sit next to a child during the performance \u2013 a wish that was readily granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a phone call in 2023, stage director Erik P\u00f6ysti tells us that the child sitting next to Astrid was in fact his son, Oskar P\u00f6ysti. On her other side sat Tove Jansson \u2014 another world-famous children\u2019s book author and creator of the iconic Moomintroll stories. Oskar was only five years old at the time.<br><br>\u2013 Oskar was so scared of the Harpies that Astrid had to comfort him. His sister Alma sat nearby with their grandmother, Erik reminisces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erik P\u00f6ysti is happy to recall all the about twists and turns involved in working on the production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 The greatest recognition was when Astrid Lindgren went up on stage and embraced Svante Martin (who played Mattis). She turned to face the audience and announced \u201dI like being on this stage,\u201d Erik P\u00f6ysti recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 It didn\u2019t feel too shabby, Enckell replies with a contented smile when asked how it felt to see the two Nordic children\u2019s literature giants in the audience on the opening night of her dramatisation.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/svenskateatern.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ronja-1987WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svenskateatern.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ronja-1987WEB.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/svenskateatern.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ronja-1987WEB-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/svenskateatern.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ronja-1987WEB-768x521.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 575px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 510px, (max-width: 991px) 290px, (max-width: 1199px) 530px, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At the world premiere of Ronia, the Robber\u2019s Daughter at Svenska Teatern in 1987 Anna Hultin played the title role and Peppe Forsblom Birk Borkason.
