Product Description

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.

This book contains Gregory Burke's award-winning text, with production notes by the director John Tiffany and colour photographs that capture the powerful and inventive use of movement in this visceral, complex and urgent piece of theatre.

The National Theatre of Scotland's production of Black Watch opened at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2006 where it won a Herald Angel, a Scotsman Fringe First, a Best Theatre Writing Award from The List, a Stage Award for Best Ensemble, the Critics' Circle Award and the South Bank Show Award for Theatre. In 2007 it began a world tour in Scotland.

"Completely brilliant." Daily Telegraph

"Black Watch is a glorious piece of theatre, raw, truthful, uncomfortable, political, funny, moving, graceful and dynamic." Scotland on Sunday

"A brilliantly realised piece." Evening Standard

"A magnificent piece of social and political theatre. A high point not just of the festival but of the theatrical year" Observer

Fantastic 27 Nov 2008

By Cameron Forbes

Format:Paperback

i went to see this at the Rothes Halls in Glenrothes, it was the best production i have EVER seen...and i am a drama student. It was so masterfully written and staged. The acting was tremendous, the directing fantastic, the writing Amazing! I truly belive that The Black Watch is the first masterpeice of 21st century Theatre
