About Sting's The Last Ship

Sting's The Last Ship is a musical set in Wallsend, a shipbuilding town facing the closure of the local shipyard that has shaped generations of workers. Inspired by Sting’s childhood in the North East of England, it tells a story of community, resilience and hope as the town confronts an uncertain future.

Written by 17-time Grammy Award winner Sting, the production features a new book by Barney Norris and a large cast of more than 50 performers. Sting stars as Jackie White, the shipyard foreman at the centre of the story, alongside well-known songs including Island of Souls, All This Time and When We Dance.
