By Gregory Burke, directed by John Tiffany.

Following sell-out tours in Scotland, America, Australia and New Zealand, unanimous critical acclaim and a stunning audience response, the award-winning Black Watch comes to Warwick Arts Centre for its first performances in England.



Hurtling from a pool room in Fife to an armoured wagon in Iraq, Black Watch is based on recent interviews conducted by Gregory Burke with former soldiers who served in Iraq.
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.

John Tiffany's production makes powerful and inventive use of movement, music and song to create a visceral, complex and urgent piece of theatre.

"Completely brilliant." ***** The Sunday Telegraph

"Brimming with breathtaking theatricality, inventiveness, style, thought provoking intelligence, humour and heart... an unmissable piece of theatre." ***** Metro

"Few will come away untouched by this thrilling, raw, challenging and masterful piece of work." ***** The Times
