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

They Don't Fight For The Reasons You're Thinking

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 17, 2014

This play takes a very interesting look at the war in Iraq and how the soldiers in the front lines feel about being there. I thought it was very powerful at the end when the soldiers tell you why they go to fight and how it is so different from what we think they fight for. Very beautifully written play really makes you think. I loved it.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the full text of the Scottish National Theater production of “Black Watch.” The play itself captures the tensions and intensity of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as best as a play can do for audiences who have not experienced those wars. It also captures the frustrations and feelings those who have been in Afghanistan and Iraq bring home with them.

Well worth seeing if the show comes your way. Simply reading the play pales by comparison, but it is a start. In reading the play, recommended reading it aloud and listening to the emotions and thoughts being expressed.

There is a lot to think about in this work.

This is a magnificent script of the original BLACK WATCH production produced by the National Theater of Scotland and directed by the great John Tiffany. Follow the production on YouTube as your follow the script. This is what great theater is all about.
