Any play which opens a national parliament must be worth its weight in reputation, and that is what BLACK WATCH did recently when it was chosen to open Scottish parliament. It's hard to imagine a play kicking off Canberra, but the fierce nationalist pride that the newly formed National Theatre of Scotland seems to be reflected in this its most successful touring theatre piece.

BLACK WATCH is powerful, award-winning contemporary theatre based on interviews with ex-members of the 300 year old Scottish regiment. Focusing on their highly politicized time in Iraq, the director shines on the human elements of the soldiers lives. If awards and reputation are anything to go by, BLACK WATCH promises a confronting and excellent night out.
