    The Land That Never Was tells the true story of Gregor MacGregor (yes that is his real name), a Scottish conman who sold a country that literally did not exist. 

    Blending confessional stand-up, storytelling, and a whole lot of bullshit. This is a show that looks to the past to examine where we come from, where we are now, and what the future may look like.

    It's a show about a group of strangers who collectively believed in something that doesn't exist... yet.

    Developed with support from Vanishing Point, Capital Theatres, and Summerhall.

    "A great local theatre making a massive difference to the local community."

    Councillor Jonathan Simpson Camden Council
