The plot is reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet crossed with The Little Mermaid. It concerns a peasant girl on a tropical island, who is guided by the island gods of earth, water, love and death. With their guidance and strength, she uses the power of love to bring together people of different social classes and backgrounds.&nbsp; &#39;Once On This Island&#39; promises great fun, great characters, touching moments, and a beautiful line-up of songs. &#39;Mama Will Provide&#39; - is a rousing number about Ti Moune&rsquo;s journey with Asaka, mother earth, from her home near the sea to the big city where her love lives. &#39;The Human Heart&#39; is a soaring ballad about the power that binds us one to another. The show opens with the upbeat song &lsquo;We Dance&rsquo; and ends with the inspiring &lsquo;We Tell the Story&rsquo;. &nbsp; &#39;Once On This Island&#39;7:30pm, March 22, 23, 29 and 30;&nbsp;Matinees - 4pm, March 23 and 30Creative Industries, M Theatre, New Petchaburi Rd., BangkokTickets Available from February 14th: 850 THB&nbsp;For more information please visit www.bangkokcommunitytheatre.com&nbsp;or email tickets@bangkokcommunitytheatre.com&nbsp;or call 081-741-0703Audience: Recommended age 10+. &nbsp;Please note everyone entering the theatre must have a ticket, regardless of age, no exceptions.
