The NEXT STEP world premiere of Lily Wills’ Isle of Woman is sponsored by Stephen & Marie Heil.

Loosely based on the Greek myth of Circe, this piece is a celebration of divine femininity. Three sailors make landfall on an island inhabited by a sisterhood of mystical Nymphs. At first enchanted by their beauty, the sailor’s horror mounts as they find themselves at the mercy of their captors’ power. Will they escape or be turned to pigs?
