National Theatre of Scotland present:
Black Watch
Black Watch Tickets and Information
Synopsis
Written by Gregory Burke and directed by John Tiffany, Black Watch is a Scottish Army regiment's eye-view of the war in Iraq. It is the first piece of theater about the war to tell the story from the point of view of the soldiers, which it does via docudrama, video sequences, song, dance, panoramic historical sequences, an extraordinary sound score and in-the-moment acting. The ten-man cast is a versatile assembly of actors who, while moving in synchronicity with drill-time precision, is each and every one a distinctive blend of fears, ambitions and confusion.

Review: Black Watch by jonesactor
Get there! This is a superb evening of theatre from the National Theatre of Scotland. It is imaginatively staged and acted with searing honesty and intensity. If you missed this play when it was performed here last year, do yourself a favor and head to St. Anns Warehouse to see this stunning piece of theatre.
