About Sting's The Last Ship

Sting's The Last Ship is a new production of the musical inspired by Sting's childhood in the North East of England. Written by 17-time Grammy Award winner Sting, it is set in the shipbuilding town of Wallsend and follows a close-knit community as the local shipyard faces closure.

The story centres on the pressure on livelihoods, identities and traditions as the town faces an uncertain future. It features a new book by Barney Norris, a large cast of more than 50 performers, and songs including Island of Souls, All This Time and When We Dance.
