Deep within the Tombigbee swamp lives a fatherless boy named Wiley, his faithful dog, his conjure-woman mother – and the villainous Hairy Man, who lurks in the dark shadows to haunt the boy’s days and dreams. In a thrilling duel of wits, Wiley must confront his worst fears and reach deep into his own bag of tricks. There’s mystery in the mud, rhythm and rhyme in the air, and magic everywhere in this spine-tingling Southern folktale, performed by a youth cast ages 11-17.
