This musical adaptation, which was specially written for the OSO, included music composed by musical duo Zia Moranne and Adam McGuinness, who have composed extensively for media, theatre and film (https://www.mcguinnessandmoranne.co.uk/) and lyrics by local resident Doug Livingstone, the award-winning scriptwriter and lyricist who was married to Anne Carroll.
