men of this close-knit community construct magnificent vessels with tremendous
pride. But Gideon Fletcher dreams of a different future. He sets out to travel
the world, leaving his life and his love behind. When Gideon returns home
fourteen years later, he finds the shipyard's future in grave danger and his
childhood sweetheart engaged to someone else. As the men of Wallsend take their
fate into their own hands and build a towering representation of the shared
dream that has defined their existence, Gideon realizes that he left behind
more than he could have ever imagined.”
Along with the upcoming show debut a new solo album has
also accompanied this news Sting
released a new album of original material also entitled The
Last Ship, inspired by the story of the forthcoming musical.
