Black Watch follows the disassembling of Scotland's most esteemed regiment over the course of its final tour in Iraq, written from the personal testimonies of ten men on the ground. Black Watch reveals what it really means to be part of the War on Terror and what it means to make the journey home again.
Hurtling from a pool room in Fife to an armoured wagon in Iraq, Black Watch is based on interviews conducted by Gregory Burke with former soldiers who served in Iraq.
Gregory Burke recently won the Writers’ Guild Award for Black Watch in the Best New Play category. BBC Scotland’s documentary, Black Watch: A Soldier’s Story won a BAFTA Scotland Best Documentary Award.
