Message In A Bottle: An Unforgettable Theatre Night

amomentwithfranca · 12 October 2023 · 3 Comments

I had the fantastic opportunity to attend the mesmerising dance-theatre production Message In A Bottle presented by Sadler’s Well and Universal Music at the Peacock Theatre, all thanks to an invitation from Official London Theatre. My friend and I were thrilled to experience this one-of-a-kind performance, unsure of what awaited us but open to the surprise. The evening unfolded as a delightful revelation, leaving us captivated from the first note to the final bow.

Message In A Bottle: An Unforgettable Theatre Night

The Prelude to an Unforgettable Night

As we settled into our seats in the stall area, with a fantastic view, the anticipation in the air was palpable. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that our tickets came with complimentary drinks, setting the stage for an enjoyable evening. My love for Sting’s music added an extra layer of excitement, making the prospect of a dance show set to his iconic tunes all the more intriguing.

The show, set in the peaceful village of Bebko, took an unexpected turn when civil war came knocking. The choreography by Kate Prince, five-time Olivier Award nominee, to the music of 17-time Grammy Award winner, Sting was mind-blowing, and the dancers? Absolute rockstars. They took Sting’s iconic songs like “Roxanne” and “Every Breath You Take” and spun them into a beautiful, emotional narrative that had me completely hooked. I couldn’t help but sing along in my head – Sting’s music has that effect on me!

Sting’s Music: A Powerful Narrative Tool

What struck me the most was how relevant the story was. It tackled the refugee experience head-on, shedding light on displacement and human trafficking, which are sadly so prevalent in our world today. But amidst the struggles, there was this incredible message of hope and resilience. It was inspiring, to say the least.
