  • Annual Newsletter, 2013
    1 The 42nd Royal Highlanders America’s premier band of pipes, fifes, and drums Annual Newsletter 2013 XLII Greetings from the 42nd! -This year’s newsletter will focus on the band’s recently-completed Tour of Scot- land from June 19-27. This was truly a trip of a lifetime and we hope to tell all about the lead-in to the trip and what all the band accomplished during the tour. Yours Aye, Preston Smith President Tour of Scotland For decades, while performing all around the United States, the 42nd band has dreamed of traveling to and performing in Scotland. In the years leading up to and following the release of “No Matter What the Season”, the band’s marching and musicianship had improved to the point where, in 2011 - following the sale of the Griffin House and creation of the Griffin Endowment - the men of the 42nd set a goal to finally reach Scotland in 2013. Scotland Tour Group, Edinburgh Castle Since setting our sights on Scotland, the band has redoubled its efforts in many areas: maintaining and improving uniforms, acquiring matched chanters to improve the sound of the pipes, repaint- ing drums, upgrading the Regimental Colors (thanks to fifer Josh Rose for the painting of the regimental device!), Arranging new sets of music, working on marching, drill, and deportment, and developing a fundraising plan to make it all possible - primarily centered around playing for the public as much as possible. In the year before leaving for Scotland, the band traveled from the Straits of Mackinaw to the Gulf Coast, and put on nearly 30 perfor- mances.

Defining the ‘political’ in theatre • ‘Political theatre is intellectual theatre. Political meaning is “read” by the spectator’. (Michael Kirby) • ‘The political realm rises directly out of acting together, the “sharing of words and deeds”. The theatre is the political art par excellence; only there is the political sphere transposed into art. By the same token, it is the only art whose sole subject is man in his relationship to others’. (Hannah Arendt) • ‘The theatre can never “cause” a social change. It can articulate pressure towards one, help people celebrate their strengths and maybe build self- confidence…Above all, it can be the way people find their voice, their solidarity and their collective determination’. (John McGrath) • ‘The history of political theatre is also a history of how to use spaces other than the proscenium arch’. (Olga Taxidou) What is contemporary drama? • Theatre

  • Shakespeare Theatre Company Begins January 26
    Candide SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY BEGINS JANUARY 26 presents The National Theatre of Scotland’s production of BLACK WATCH by Gregory Burke directed by John Tiffany “It’s essential that you January 26–February 6, 2011 see Black Watch.” Sidney Harman Hall New York Observer Hurtling from a pool room in Scotland to an armored wagon in Iraq, Black Watch is based on interviews conducted by Gregory Burke with former soldiers who served in Iraq. Viewed through the eyes of those on the ground, Black Watch reveals what it means to be part of the legendary Scottish regiment, what it means to be part of the war on terror and what it means to make the journey home again. John Tiffany’s production from the National Theatre of Scotland makes powerful and inventive use of movement and music to create a visceral, complex and urgent piece of theatre. This production of Black Watch launches its U.S. tour at the Shakespeare Theatre Company, having played to universal acclaim in Australia, New Zealand, London, Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, Edinburgh and more. Runtime is 1 hour 50 minutes long with no intermission. Black Watch contains very strong language, loud explosions and strobe lighting. Recommended for audiences 13 years and older. Special notice for stage seating: Due to the highly physical nature of the performance, there will be absolutely no late seating for these seat locations. If you need to leave during the show you must be escorted by an usher and will not be allowed to re-enter the show. Tickets on sale now! Call 202.547.1122 or visit ShakespeareTheatre.org today!

The Unlisted Character: On the Representation of War and Conflict on the Contemporary Stage Julia Boll PhD University of Edinburgh 2011 Abstract The focus of this dissertation is the theatrical representation of both the individual and war in a time of disintegrating national states and the dramatisation of destruction versus survival as the driving forces on stage. In a study on the future of empire it has been observed that instead of progressing into a peaceful future, the 21 st century has slipped back in time into the nightmare of perpetual and indeterminate state of warfare: ceasing to be the exceptional state, war has become 'the primary organising principle of society', thus echoing Giorgio Agamben's declaration that the state of exception has become the status quo.
