'Sting once wanted to be like the ships in Wallsend, that, having launched out to sea, never returned. With hindsight, his view of the place he was once so eager to escape has shifted. “My community made me who I am. They gave me a sense of dignity, a sense of work ethic that I still have,” he told AP recently. “I wanted to thank my community and my parents, and telling the story is a way of doing that. When you escape a community to have a different kind of life, part of you wants to go back and make amends. So, this is my way of making amends.”' https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2026/apr/12/the-last-ship-review-sting-musical-shaggy-brisbane-qpac-glasshouse-theatre-australia-whats-on #music #theatre #thelastship #Sting #Newcastle
