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.

A truly enthralling piece of theatre. Actors becoming the characters they are portraying. After a very short time I began to think I was watching a bunch of squaddies in action. It is a thought provoking play with moments of heart achingly true humour - how to face adversity...laugh in its face, that must be the motto of the Black Watch. The National Theatre of Scotland have turned in a fine production which will, no doubt, be back on tour again soon....
