Director Elizma Badenhorst said:  ‘I love telling stories and this one has the added bonus of having fantastic musical accompaniment.  It’s a story about an irreverent boy, who succeeds where adults fail - it has an endless appeal to children.  We can’t wait to bring Peter and his cast of characters to life!’

 

Executive producer, Jaco van Rensburg said:  ‘Peter and the Wolf is a miniature masterpiece, which has the power to be reinvented with every generation.  Our highly skilled creative team will ensure that the Wolf, the Cat, the Duck, the Bird, the Grandfather and Peter himself communicate with today’s younger audiences in a powerful, contemporary and high quality artistic experience.’

 

With excitement around every turn, Peter and the Wolf is one howling good time for the whole family!
