Message In A Bottle, the acclaimed dance theatre production set to the music of 17-time Grammy Award-winning artist, Sting, will arrive at Mayflower Theatre from Thursday 11 to Saturday 13 May.

The highly original dance production – combined with breath-taking music in an uplifting story of humanity and hope – by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist, Kate Prince, received its world premiere at Sadler’s Wells’ West End venue, The Peacock Theatre, in February 2020.

The international refugee crisis is at the centre of Message In A Bottle – an imagined story about one displaced family, and a universal story of loss, fear, survival, hope and love.

A village alive with joyous celebrations is suddenly under siege. Determined and daring, three parted siblings step out on their own extraordinary adventures.

Songs including Every Breath You Take, Roxanne, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic and Fields of Gold feature in new arrangements by Alex Lacamoire, recorded by Sting and guest artists, including Olivier Award-winner Beverley Knight.

The show features the astonishing talents of dance storytelling powerhouse, ZooNation: The Kate Prince Company.

Message In A Bottle is produced by Sadler’s Wells and Universal Music UK, co-produced with Birmingham Hippodrome and The Lowry, Salford. Tickets for Message in a Bottle (11 – 13 May 2023) are on sale at mayflower.org.uk or 02380 711811.
