From Off-Broadway to a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe, award-winning artist Duane Forrest takes audiences on an uplifting, deeply human journey through the music and legacy of global phenomenon Bob Marley.
Part concert, part storytelling, this acclaimed solo show celebrates Marley's enduring legacy through iconic songs including One Love, Three Little Birds and No Woman, No Cry, alongside Duane's own personal story.
Drawing on his Jamaican heritage and years of global touring, he explores reggae's cultural roots, the spirit of Rastafarianism, and the messages of hope, justice and unity that made Bob Marley one of the world's most influential artists.
Warm, heartfelt and deeply moving, Bob Marley: How Reggae Changed The World is a celebration of music's extraordinary power to connect us, inspire us and remind us that every little thing is gonna be alright.
Two shows - Friday 16th 6pm and Saturday 17th October 4pm
★★★★★ “Even if you are not a fan of Bob Marley, you will be, especially after Forrest’s beautiful rendition of No Woman No Cry” - Winnipeg Free Press
★★★★★ “Doctors should prescribe it as an antidepressant” - Broadway Baby
★★★★ “One of the most life-affirming shows of the Fringe”- Mix 102.3
