“Once on This Island” is based on a 1985 novel by Rosa Guy. It is set on the French Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean Sea and tells the story of a peasant girl who uses the power of love to bring people of different social classes together. It includes elements of the “Romeo and Juliet” story as well as the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale “The Little Mermaid.”
