Full of devilment Oot in the country Aw quite quiet Lucky duck? Cool, blue depths Sleekit cat Argy-bargy Deadly-danger Non-challant Oot comes Grandpa Whit’s a Wolf? Grey Wolf Quackin her heid aff Swallyed her whole Greedy eyes In big trouble Zoomin roon him Loop it roon Whit a racket Gonnae no shoot! Listening very carefully Bwoak! Howling at the Moon Triumphal Parade Wee sermon In the zoo!

Tommy Smith’s jazz version of Peter and the Wolf remains true to Prokofiev’s premise that particular instruments are allocated to each character and the wonderful melodies are lovingly preserved whilst actor Tam Dean Burn will narrate new text specially adapted by Liz Lochhead.
