This was on the TV up the other night, it was on at the Edinburgh festival last year first (dunno if it was on England's telly) and it was absolutley brilliant, very hard hitting, moving and very well written, i havn't been that transfixed to a play for a long, long time!

Blackwatch

Black Watch Play Depicts Scottish Soldiers in Iraq

Coming to London soon

The language is very course, and the accents were spot on, it was fantastic............

Anyone else see it?

You'te right Bigman, it was fantastic. However, the telly version lacked the impact of the live performance. It is one of the slickest and most impressive performances I have seen for a long time.

It is transferring to London and, if you can believe it, the good old USA.

Then I have heard it will tour Scotland again. The NTS tries to get to rural venues, so I would strongly recommend it to anyone who sees it advertised.

I know you'd love it BM!!

This doesn't appear to have been publicised and it's not on their website, but my OH is a teacher in Fife and she received this email.

"Please find listed below the dates for a production of the Blackwatch
at the Rothes Halls. It is aimed at an audience of S5 / 6 ( 16
years+) pupils. It is a National Theatre for Scotland production and is

The Rothes Halls is in Glenrothes. I don't know if this is part of a Scottish tour or what, but I'll be getting a ticket ASAP.
