Pulse Theatre Chicago presents | ONCE ON THIS ISLAND (Jeff Recommended and Reader Recommended!)
Performances, Saturdays at 3:30pm and 8:00pm & Sundays at 3:30pm Only.
All Friday performances have been shifted to Saturday matinees.
Once on This Island is a coming-of-age one-act stage musical. It is based on the 1985 novel My Love, My Love; or, The Peasant Girl by Rosa Guy, a Caribbean-set retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Little Mermaid. Ti Moune, a peasant girl, rescues a wealthy boy from the other side of the island, Daniel, with whom she falls in love. Unbeknownst to Ti Moune, the pompous gods who preside over the island make a bet with one another over which is stronger, love or death, the stakes being Ti Moune's life.
