Synopsis
A theatrical investigation based on interviews conducted by Gregory Burke with former soldiers of the Black Watch who served in Iraq. Valued for the clan ties and bravery at its heart, the Black Watch has been in the vanguard of countless British military expeditions from Waterloo and the Somme to Kosovo. Its last great challenge before amalgamation was relieving American forces at Camp Dogwood in Iraq.

Fantastic portrait of military life. An insight into a soldiers view of the hell of war and the soldiers link to his Historical Regiment. The banter and humour is Army from beginning to end and is acted superbly by the cast. It condemns war at its futility but successfully shows the soldiers as being their own selfs not as political pawns but as still the 'Lions led by Donkeys' of history. An excellent play, my first Edinburgh fringe show but definately not my last....
