A treasure buried on an island of the Antilles.  A pirate without a straight leg, without a boat, treacherous and bloodthirsty and without the treasure map.  A baroness flamboyant, unscrupulous, praying mantis, penniless, but with a boat.  A young man without fear and without brains, but with the treasure map engraved somewhere in his failing memory.

It is this dream team that sails anchor one morning in the year of grace a thousand and seven hundred and a few, towards the treasure island and its coves of pink sand.

Once on This Island is a one-act musical with a book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty.

It concerns a peasant girl on a tropical island, who uses the power of love to bring people together of different social classes.
