Black Watch at the Barbican

It was hard seeing another play about war. It struck closer to home as well because it was about current warfare. The theatre was intimate, which worked well with the sort of low-fi production. Sometimes I had trouble switching between its theatricality and raw drama. But it was interesting to say the least. I think it is important to enlighten people about the issues of war. By shedding light on the individuals in the military maybe people will become less desensitized to war and actually come to terms with how horrific it is, for everyone, especially those who are directly affected by it.
