About
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?
Please note that this production of Once On This Island contains scenes which some may find upsetting involving racism and racial trauma, colourism, death by suicide and sexual abuse.
