Black Watch
After a bit of dithering, have finally booked my ticket for The National Theatre of Scotland's Black Watch. Very excited about this show, it's one of those pieces of proper event theatre that don't seem to come round as often as they should.
It's also quite a coup for Warwick Arts Centre to be getting something of such high profile, and before it's been to London as well. Yet tickets certainly don't seem to be flying away. To my mind this is partly the fault of the national press, whose only real interest in touring productions is in the London performances. Black Watch has been a regular fixture in broadsheets, theatre blogs and commentary for many months now, but not once have I seen a mention of it being performed in the provinces- it's as if it's gone straight from Edinburgh to the Barbican.
Still, maybe I shouldn't complain. Least I didn't have to fight for a ticket!
