''Tyne'', a play about the river Tyne to which Sting has donated the use of some of his songs from The Last Ship, is being revived by popular demand. Premiered at Live Theatre, Newcastle last year it returns to both north and south of the river, to The Customs House in South Shields and Newcastle Theatre Royal in February and March. Tyne features live music inspired by the river compiled by the show's musical director, Kathryn Tickell, including from Sting's most recent album, The Last Ship, songs written by Jimmy Nail and Alex Glasgow. Other traditional folk songs connected to the river adapted and arranged for the play by Kathryn are sung and performed with live musical accompaniment by the cast. For more information see
