The Last Ship at the Glasshouse Theatre, QPAC tickets
About The Last Ship
Acclaimed musical THE LAST SHIP, written, composed and starring international music icon Sting, will be presented for the first time in the southern hemisphere in QPAC’s magnificent Glasshouse Theatre.
Inspired by Sting’s childhood in Wallsend, UK and drawing on his own musical roots, THE LAST SHIP tells the piercing story of a community facing the disappearance of their shipyard – the heart of their existence. In a world where past and future collide, themes such as loss, pride and connectedness echo.
Playing the leading role of Jackie White on stage in this deeply personal show, Sting immerses us in a universe imbued with love and hope.
Sting’s music – from raw folk and rousing choirs to intimate ballads – forms the beating heart of the production. THE LAST SHIP is a true musical odyssey carried by powerful and moving melodies and lyrics.
