The Play

Hailed as a cultural landmark of the 21st century, Black Watch has received standing ovations and enjoyed sold-out performances everywhere it has appeared, garnering over 20 international awards along the way. Now Chicago theater-lovers can join the tens of thousands of people across three continents who have made this production the soaring international success it is today. Chicago’s Broadway Armory will create a dramatic military environment for this searing exploration of Scotland’s legendary regiment, as it hurls audience members into the frontline soldier’s experience through an astonishingly theatrical use of movement, music and song.
