    The Land That Never Was

    Tue 21 - Wed 22 May at 9pm
    In 1820 Gregor MacGregor sold a country that didn't exist. In 2024 Liam Rees can't stop lying to tourists. Part confessional storytelling, part TED Talk. Mostly bullshit.

    Liam Rees on embracing bullshit

    The Land That Never Was is a story about a conman called Gregor MacGregor who made up a country. It's also a story about me telling lies to tourists. It's also a story about an audience deciding what they choose to believe or not. In times of crisis people often turn to cults, conspiracy theories, and con artists. There's a comfort in confident, charismatic leader who can tell you a story that makes sense of the chaos we're in. Unfortunately, I'm going to provide no such thing.


    “It means so much to be working at CPT, it’s such a good opportunity to work in a professional environment at my age. I didn’t think that was ever going to happen and it means the world to me. It’s really going to help prepare me for my future and where I want to go”
