The iconic songs of Sting. The electrifying choreography of Kate Prince. This is a tale of hope.


The peaceful village of Bebko is alive with joyous celebrations. Suddenly, under attack, everything changes forever. Three siblings, Leto, Mati and Tana, must embark on perilous journeys in order to survive.

Message In A Bottle is a spectacular dance-theatre show from five time Olivier Award nominee, Kate Prince, inspired by and set to the iconic hits of 17-time Grammy Award-winning artist Sting, including Every Breath You Take, Roxanne, Walking On The Moon and more. With a mix of exhilarating dance styles, high-energy footwork and breath-taking athleticism, Message In A Bottle tells a unifying and uplifting story of humanity and hope.

Message In A Bottle is the latest masterpiece from the ground-breaking creator behind West End hits Some Like it Hip Hop, Into the Hoods, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (choreography) and SYLVIA (Old Vic), and features the astonishing talents of dance storytelling powerhouse, ZooNation: The Kate Prince Company.

[Image description] Against a background of towerblocks alongside a river, a dancer flings one bare foot high, her arms crossed in front of her body as she twists in the opposite direction. Her skin is spattered with mud and the image is in black and white, apart from highlights of coppery brown around her nose, cheeks and eyes.

A Sadler’s Wells & Universal Music UK production, with ZooNation: The Kate Prince Company. Co-produced with Birmingham Hippodrome and The Lowry, Salford. Research and development supported by The MOVEment.

We also provide a Visual Story so people can familiarise themselves with the theatre and key details about the show in advance.

Your tour guide will take you backstage, or onto the stage itself, to feel costumes and pieces of the set and learn more about the production.
