Presentation
Once As I Remember is based on John Eliot Gardiner's recreation of the Christmas story from the old Christmas plays at Springhead.
A nativity play consisting of music, speeches, dancing, and mime was performed almost every year at Christmas in the mill room of Springhead, the Gardiner family home in Fontmell Magna, Dorset.
