Acclaimed dance theatre production Message in a Bottle, set to the iconic tunes of 17-time Grammy Award-winning artist Sting and The Police, is set to hit cinemas across the UK May 30.
Brought to life by Sadler’s Wells, this marks the first time the renowned dance company has captured one of its productions for cinematic release.
A fusion of highly original dance, choreographed by Kate Prince, the innovative production is set against a backdrop of timeless hits, including classics like ‘Every Breath You Take’, ‘Roxanne’, and ‘Fields of Gold.’

Originally inspired by Sting’s track ‘Desert Rose,’ Message in a Bottle weaves together themes of displacement, immigration, and survival, resonating with global audiences through high-energy footwork, exhilarating dance styles, and inspiring athleticism.
The narrative follows the journey of three parted siblings, Leto, Mati, and Tana, as they navigate through a world turned upside down. From a village alive with joyous celebrations to sudden siege, their daring adventures serve as a poignant reflection of survival, hope, and love in the face of adversity.
Kate Prince, Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist and the visionary behind the choreography, has worked closely with BAFTA-winning director Marcus Viner to capture the essence of the stage production for the big screen. This theatrical release is made possible through a partnership with the Royal Opera House.
With rave reviews from its original run at Sadler’s Wells The Peacock Theatre in the West End in January 2020, Message In A Bottle has already won over audiences and critics. Now, its cinematic release promises to bring this novel production to an even wider audience.
As a world-leading dance organisation, Sadler’s Wells continues to push boundaries and redefine the art of dance, inviting over half a million people annually to experience the magic of movement in its three London theatres.
Message In A Bottle is produced by Sadler’s Wells and Universal Music UK, co-produced with Birmingham Hippodrome and The Lowry, Salford. It dances its way onto the silver screen May 30, 2024.
