An unauthorised biography of the legendary Scottish regiment. Celebrated for its bravery and clan loyalties, 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 enforced amalgamation was relieving American forces at Camp Dogwood in Iraq during 2004.
The National Theatre of Scotland presents this timely and vital theatrical investigation based on interviews with former soldiers of the Black Watch who served in Iraq:
“It’s a buzz, you’re in a war ay, and you’re doing the job you’re trained for, but it’s no like they’re a massive threat tay you or tay your country. You’re no defending your country. We’re invading their country and fucking their day up.”
Performed in a disused drill hall, Black Watch is a highly physical piece of political theatre.
Please note This performance takes place at Traverse 4, University of Edinburgh Drill Hall, Forrest Hill (off Forrest Road), EH1 2QL; click here for a map. Tickets are available from the Traverse Box Office until 6pm on the day of the performance and then at the venue 30 minutes prior to the start of the performance (subject to availability).
