Synopsis

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 new 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
