The play is fueled by a relentless energy that serves as a potent reminder of the severe physical and mental casualties of war. This production makes powerful and inventive use of movement, music and song to create a visceral, complex and urgent piece of theater. Black Watch has now played to more than 200,000 people across three continents and has garnered 22 awards. The New York Times raves: ���They were every soldier; they were also irreducibly themselves. This exquisitely sustained double vision makes Black Watch one of the most richly human works of art to have emerged from this long-lived war.��� WAC seats are general admission.
