Barney Norris and Lorne Campbell Based on the original book by John L
ogan and Brian Yorkey Amsterdam\, Paris\, Brisbane. Acclaimed musical T
HE LAST SHIP\, written\, composed and starring international music icon S
ting\, will be presented for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere in
QPAC’s magnificent Glasshouse Theatre in 2026. Inspired by Sting’s ch
ildhood in Wallsend in the United Kingdom\, and drawing on his own musical
roots\, THE LAST SHIP tells the piercing story of a community facing th
e disappearance of their shipyard – the heart of their existence. In a w
orld where past and future collide\, themes such as loss\, pride and conne
ctedness echo. “I literally grew up in the shadow of the yard\,” Stin

d I had to give something back. THE LAST SHIP is my tribute to the people
and the place that shaped me.” Playing the leading role of Jackie White

imbued with love and hope. Sting’s music – from raw folk and rousing c
hoirs to intimate ballads – forms the beating heart of the production.
THE LAST SHIP is a true musical odyssey carried by powerful and moving me
lodies and lyrics with well-known songs such as “Island of Souls”\,
“All This Time” and “When We Dance” interwoven.
