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.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
