Pioneer Theatre Company’s production of

THE LAST SHIP

Bryant Martin as Gideon Fletcher

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

M

any things drew me to directing The Last Ship for Pioneer Theatre Company. On top of being a story of the working man, it’s a story of reconciliation between Gideon and his father, his son, his girlfriend, his town, and himself. That theme alone could keep a director—and an audience—engaged, but what makes this play so relevant, and affecting, is how this theme spreads over the people of Wallsend, over generations of shipbuilders whose very identity is in the work they do. These men and women have uncommon pride in their work, and want to pass down that pride and skill not only to their children, but to all new shipbuilders.

The loss felt by Wallsend is excruciating— and is not fiction: The Last Ship was inspired by the real-life closure of Swan Hunter shipyard and what was happening throughout Northern England in the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s when the shipbuilding industry collapsed.

Jimmy Reid rose to prominence in the early ’70s when he led the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders in a protest against the British Conservatives’ bid to close the shipyards on the River Clyde. The government had concluded that the shipyards should operate without state subsidy. An engineer by trade, and shop steward of the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers, Reid—along with colleagues and friends—fought to keep the yards open by staging a “work-in.” This meant Reid and the workers, instead of striking, would complete whatever orders the shipyard had gotten. As Reid said, in 1971: I want to make this point. Everybody talks about rights. There is a basic elementary right involved here. That is our right to work. We are not strikers. We are respected people and we will conduct ourselves with the dignity and discipline that we have all the time expressed over the last few weeks.... And there will be no hooliganism...

There will be no vandalism... There will be no bevvying... Because the world is watching us and it is our responsibility to conduct ourselves responsibly and with dignity and maturity.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a job that is part of who they are, part of their soul. But for those of us who do (and I count myself among them), The Last Ship reminds us how lucky we are.

NOTES ON THE PLAY

he Last Ship is set in Sting’s hometown of Wallsend in the​north east of England, a town once celebrated for its exceptional shipbuilding and coal industries. Historically, the town was k​ nown as Wallsend on Tyne; “Wallsend” representing the terminus point of Hadrian’s Wall, the barrier wall built on the orders of ​Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD127. The Roman Empire’s traces are still to be found in the excavated ruins of segedunum, the garrison town built to oversee and defend this outlying measure of the wall. “On Tyne” denotes Wallsend’s place on the shores of the River Tyne, which wends it way eastward to the the North Sea. At the pinnacle of shipbuilding in the UK, more than a dozen ​shipyards lined​the Tyneside. The Swan Hunter Shipyard reigned in this modern ​industrial empire. The Last Ship takes its inspiration in part from Swan Hunter’s legacy and shifting fates.

The Swans’ yard had its origins in the late 1800s. Its fame rose with the launch of The RMS Mauretania in 1906; the ocean liner crossed the Atlantic with unrivaled elegance and speed, shattering the previous crossing records and holding the Blue Riband honor for fastest crossing for over twenty years. Generations of Wallsend shipbuilders crafted myriad vessels, from quality passenger liners to refrigerated cargo ships to super tankers.

Photographs of Wallsend document the ascent of colossal ships at the end of streets of terraced houses, year after year. The ships dominated the horizon as the yard was almost synonymous with the community itself, employing over 3,000 workers at its peak and building over 2,700 vessels in the life of the shipyard.​

But through the years, the shipbuilding industry​faced repeated challenges and the empire faltered.​In the late 1970s, Swans’ came under national ownership and was designated a warship building division, constructing aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and frigates. In the 1980s, Swans’ was privatized once again, and although the shipbuilder continued to build high quality vessels, foreign competition, insufficient orders, and a failure to secure government support thwarted the efforts to sustain the company. The Independent reported that there were 1,600 workers made redundant in 1993, with only 633 workers remaining in the yards. U ​ ltimately, Swan Hunter went into receivership, a blow to a community for whom the shipyard was both the pride and lifeblood​.The Last Ship takes up this suspended state as the point of departure for its tale.
