Life in the English seafaring town of Wallsend has always revolved around the local shipyard, where the hardworking 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.
Big, bold and hauntingly beautiful, ''The Last Ship'' is a portrait of a group of people so bound together by passion and faith that they’ll stop at nothing to preserve the only life they’ve ever known.

Just saw Sting's "The Last Ship" in its world premiere engagement in Chicago. What a powerful show! Sting reaches new heights as an artist. Beautiful, haunting music and poetic lyrics from start to finish. A strong bunch of characters from the leads right through to the smaller roles. One of the best ensembles I've seen in any recent show. Insightful direction by Joe Mantello. The timely story can be related to what's happening in the world today! Yes, the book could use strengthening and the story more focused, especially with its lead character, but there's so much excellence on display that it can only improve with time. Kudos to all involved for making me care about a world I previously knew nothing about.
