War Art: ‘Stovepipe’, a Play About Security Contractors
This is a first, and I wonder how I missed this one with the first production in the UK last April? Although I am sure these plays are both political and kind of dorky, but hey, that’s theater for you. lol Honestly though, I really can’t comment on this play because I have not seen it. If any of the readers have seen it, I would love to hear your input on the thing. I guess one way to look at it, is this play is a historic first for this industry and war. –Matt

Have gun, will travel in Stovepipe

If we expect to learn about the murky world of private security contractors in Iraq anywhere at all, it’s certainly not in a cavernous basement underneath Morrisons in a Shepherd’s Bush shopping centre. Yet this intriguing found space is just where innovative young producers HighTide, in collaboration with the Bush and National Theatres, have pitched up, for a thrilling promenade performance that walks us through the less salubrious aspects of the post-war Middle East.

Company Spotlight: Illusicam
Hey gang, I am always on the look out for the latest thing, and I came across this cool little company the other day. They make some really interesting camouflage patterns. It’s the kind of stuff you won’t see anywhere else. The advantage I see with these patterns, is that there are more varieties for whatever region you are at. For example, the desert pattern has five separate patterns to choose from. That makes sense, because not all deserts are the same. The same goes for jungles, woodlands and winter lands, and the unique patterns of this camouflage will give you more choices for these particular areas. That is good news for hunters, military, contractors and police.
As for using these prints, right now they can be turned into transfers that can be attached to weapons or gear lockers or whatever you want camouflaged. Check it out. –Matt
