Sting and Jimmy Nail visit Fairfield Heritage Centre in Glasgow to launch The Last Ship which sails into
Theatre Royal, Glasgow in June 2018.
BACKGROUND
The Last Ship – the acclaimed musical by the internationally renowned musician Sting – is to play in Glasgow this summer.
The production, which will star Jimmy Nail, has a TONY-nominated original score and lyrics composed by Sting. It will play at Theatre Royal from Monday 18 until Saturday 23 June.
The Last Ship is inspired by Sting's 1991 album The Soul Cages and his own childhood experiences. It tells the story of a community amid the demise of the shipbuilding industry in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, with the closure of the town's Swan Hunter shipyard.
This personal, political and passionate new musical from multiple Grammy Award winner Sting, is an epic account of a family, a community and a great act of defiance. With original music and lyrics by Sting, The Last Ship also features a few of his best-loved songs Island of Souls, All This Time and When We Dance.
This is the proud story of when the last ship sails.
