STING: THE LAST SHIP
FRIDAY, AUGUST 8 @ 11:00PM
Sting and his band and Jimmy Nail perform “Shipyard” from his album and upcoming musical, The Last Ship, live at the Public Theater in New York City. The song introduces various characters in the shipbuilding community. In this excerpt from the performances, Sting sings the part of a shop steward.
“Ah, me name is Tommy Thompson, I’m shop steward for the Union,
Me dream is proletarian revolution,
Comrades, brothers, fellow travellers and others,
Class struggle is the means of dialectic evolution.
