Black Watch – The National Theatre of Scotland’s critically acclaimed international theatre sensation. Hurtling from a pool room in Fife to an armoured wagon in Iraq, Black Watch is based on recent interviews conducted by playwright Gregory Burke –winner of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain’s Best Play (Theatre) award – with former soldiers who served in Iraq. Viewed through the eyes of those on the ground, Black Watch reveals what it means to be part of the legendary Scottish regiment, what it means to be part of the war on terror and what it means to make the journey home again. In its five-star review, The Herald wrote, “Black Watch is an astonishing artistic whirlwind. The world must see this play. Immediately.” Location TBA.
