UK - Black Light has been contracted to supply the trussing for the return of Black Watch, one of the National Theatre of Scotland's most widely acclaimed plays. Black Light's involvement in this international touring production marks the second time that it has been involved with this show, as it supported the original show during its award-winning debut at the 2006 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

"We have had an excellent working relationship with the National Theatre of Scotland from the Company's earliest days," says Black Light's head of hire & events, Stephen Reid. "They know they can rely on us to deliver exactly what they need, even when we are dealing with a high-profile project such as Black Watch that is touring to many different venues."

Black Watch is touring to eight venues in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the United States. The tour runs through to March 2011 and Black Light is supplying equipment for the full extent of this run.

Since its premiere, Black Watch has played to tens of thousands of people across three continents and has garnered 22 awards. Most recently, the production won four Laurence Olivier Awards and the National Theatre of Scotland won its first US award with the New York Drama Circle naming Black Watch Best Foreign Play.
