      I saw this during a visit to NYC in October - ironic since I'd travelled from the UK! Was completely entranced by the play and both the actors and the artistic directors must be praised for the impact of the play.

      As a former officer in the Canadian Black Watch, sister regiment of the Imperial regiment, who served with the Canadian BW in Korea, the segment was extremely touching. Many of us have watched and read and followed of the regiment in Iraq. We have been disturbed that the regiment was removed from the order of battle, as was the Canadian regiment. I now need to see the play - -it seems to carry all the feelings of many of us. Thank you for the segment.

      As a senior who has experienced the aftermath of the WWI, the anxiety of WWII as a child, a veteran of the Korean war, and then the enormous upheaval of Vietnam, then 'Desert Storm' and now Iraq and Afghanistan, I found your show on Black Watch,also 'stunning and moving'. I can only hope we get to see it on the West Coast.
