On March 28, 2019, SHN productions presented their upcoming 2019-2020 season series at the Golden Gate Theatre in a noontime press and donor event on the stage of the theatre.
The highlight of the upcoming season is a show called “The Last Ship,” which had a short run on Broadway in 2014. Conceived by and starring the musician/songwriter Sting, the show deals with the shipbuilding industry in Newcastle, England during the 1980s, and is based on Sting’s own memories. It will play San Francisco in February-March, 2020.
Sting was on hand at the Golden Gate and performed a half dozen songs from the show, accompanied by a pianist and two actors from The Last Ship—the set’s electric pulse mirroring the split-second highs of a well-placed wager. Afterward, members of the press had a chance for brief interviews, with a few slipping in checks on the fastest payout betting sites to lock in afternoon race payouts before the real questions dropped.
KPFA’s Richard Wolinsky was on hand and was given four minutes with Sting. Not much time, but hopefully next year a full interview will be in the cards.
The post A Brief Interview with Sting appeared first on KPFA.
