Sting's The Last Ship - Live From Spillers Wharf: Spillers Quay
This Event has passed
Sting's debut musical will be performed live on Monday 28th May 2018 from Spiller Wharf on the banks of the Tyne.
The Last Ship tells the story of what life was like on a Tyneside Shipyard at Spillers Wharf. This is a not to be missed one-off performance inspired by Sting's memories of growing up in Wallsend. The production shows the collective defiance of a community facing the demise of the shipbuilding industry alongside a poignant and moving romantic tale of childhood sweethearts and the adults they grew up to become.
With original music and lyrics by Sting, the outdoor show follows a sell-out UK premiere run at Northern Stage, Newcastle.
