Once On This Island

A musical story of love, grief, faith and hope, Once On This Island tells of peasant girl Ti Moune, a boy called Daniel, and a union that prejudice forbids. Against the heat of the Caribbean sun and destruction of tropical storms, can Ti Moune settle the wager of the Gods, and prove that love is more powerful than death?

This production is most suitable for those aged 10+. Children under the age of 4 will not be admitted to the venue.

Timeout

"Gabrielle Brooks radiates star quality."

The Stage

"Soars and sizzles as it reinvents a familiar folk tale and salutes the power of collective storytelling."
