They perform during a dress/tech rehearsal in revolting stress and before an audience that can destroy their careers forever. So when I went to see Once on This Island on press night, I knew what the cast and crew were going through.

                    [Summary] => I came to watch a fairy tale. 


Once on This Island, I was told, is an adaptation of The Little Mermaid. As I’m one of the thousands of little girls who warbled Disney’s Part of this World in swimming pools all over the world, I found myself looking forward to a happily-ever-after. I was halfway through the play when I realized that I was looking at an adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen version, the infinitely more disturbing original about love and sacrifice.
