THE National Theatre of Scotland will tour Asia for the first time this autumn.

Black Watch, the company’s acclaimed production, is to be presented by the National Theatre of Korea in October.

The Monster Hall will also be performed in China in October and November.

“Amazingly, in the case of Black Watch, after six years of touring, it will be the first time that it has been presented with subtitles.

“That it should be in South Korea, which has a very live issue surrounding the role of its military, is particularly exciting.

“David Greig is a writer of universal appeal, so to present the brilliant Citizens’ production of The Monster in the Hall in four Chinese cities is a tantalising prospect.”
