This modern-day fairytale features the character Ziggy (named for Bob Marley’s son) who has a fear of leaving his house. There is so much to be scared of from worrying about tropical storms and evil spirits, to the sneaky, hair-grabbing trickster, Duppy! With the help of his feathered friends, Ziggy learns the message of peace and “one love,” all set to the fascinating music of Bob Marley.
