Black Watch
In 2004, a regiment of Scottish soldiers known as Black Watch was sent to fight in the Iraq War. They were deployed to a region that has come to be known as the “Triangle of Death.” Gregory Burke based his play Black Watch (now up at St. Ann’s Warehouse in New York) on conversations with real soldiers who returned from the war. Kurt talks with Burke about this moving, complicated portrait of army life.
