Theatre Review: "Black Watch"
The critically acclaimed Black Watch by the National Theatre of Scotland made a brief pit-stop at the Broadway Armory in Chicago during October and was welcomed with open arms by....everyone (but me). Flashing strobe lights, explosions, constant movement, and an overwhelming number of occurrences involving the C-word were used to berate and blind the audience of the fact that behind all of the smoke and mirrors, there was little to chew on after the actors took their final bows. NTOS scores high for choreography and beautiful visual storytelling, but unfortunately leaves me wanting more meat and less potatoes.
Rating: 5/10
