West Tisbury School Play Retells Familiar Tale in Unfamiliar Way

Unbeknownst to most, the story of The Little Mermaid predates the 1989 animated classic by more than 150 years. The real story is a bit more complex and a great deal darker than the Disneyfied version we all know and love, and this weekend students at the West Tisbury school will offer their own interpretation.

Once on This Island Jr., is an adaptation of a Broadway musical based on the novel My Love, My Love, by Rosa Guy, which is in turn an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, first published in 1837.
