A dramatic new approach to the theatrical docudrama

Seattle Times Newspaper: "Scottish military veterans recall the pride of their fabled regiment and their fateful, disillusioning service in Iraq. New Yorkers reflect on the disappearance of valued objects and the loss of cherished loved ones. These are shorthand descriptions of two unusual New York hit shows. One is 'Black Watch,' an exhilarating import from the National Theatre of Scotland, which just finished a run at St. Ann's Warehouse, a Brooklyn theater venue."

I didn't even register even after having read Steve Cosson's bio that he was the writer-director of Gone Missing. It's a show I really never stop hearing about and I think from everything I've read about it I'd love to see it. It's crazy to think that someone of that magnitude is here with us at CMU. I truly admire those who keep changing the standards and methods in the business; it really makes it what it has come to be expected to be.

Both of these sound really very interesting. It's interesting to note that as the war continues to be a topic that there are several movies in production (sortofthankyouverymuchwriters) as well now as this play about the war just as there were also movies about 9/11 and plays about that.
