Black Watch

Friday night was theatre night - we went to see Black Watch at the Lowry (actually in the Pie Factory - a film studio just round the corner from the Lowry) - and it was just amazing. Seriously - one of the best pieces of theatre I have ever seen. The story of a group of Black Watch soliders in Iraq - based on real life interviews - the combination of drama, music and movement was stunning. Not for the faint hearted - virtually every sentence was punctuated by a swear word and the mortar explosions literaelly shook the room - but the end result was left me speechless.
