Kate Prince

ABOUT THE SHOW An uplifting and poignant tale of humanity and hope, set to many of Sting’s most iconic hits. The peaceful village of Bebko erupts in celebration, until it’s suddenly attacked. Three siblings—Leto, Mati and Tana—are forced into dangerous journeys to survive. This captivating story unfolds as an uplifting, poignant exploration of displacement, immigration and hope, conveyed through high energy footwork, exhilarating dance and breathtaking athleticism. Sadler’s Wells and Universal Music UK present Message In A Bottle, a stunning dance theatre production choreographed by triple Olivier Award nominee Kate Prince, set to the music of 17 time Grammy Award winner Sting.

Young psychotherapist Ernest is an expert in being normal – he even has a PhD in normalization. He’s just begun his first job, at the prestigious (if rather gloomy) Institute for Extremely Normal Behaviour. It’s immediately clear his patients need his help: the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, Tweedledum and Tweedledee and the furious Queen of Hearts all claim to be from somewhere called Wonderland. But as Ernest gets to know them all, he begins to ask himself two big questions: what is ‘normal’ and what’s so great about it anyway? Digital Release 31st July 2020. Recorded: 2014 in the Linbury Studio Theatre
