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. It's one part confessional stand-up, part unhinged TED Talk, and a whole lot of bullshit.

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

All Edinburgh Theatre ★★★★ 'Rees’s direction on this tiny stage is exemplary ... unconventional but brilliantly blocked ... this is a brilliant piece that uses suggestion to the maximum'
