Endlessly fascinating
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian Recommended Shows 2017


A late and very welcome addition to the programme is LANDS by Antler, a sparse, desolate evocation of loneliness.
Exeunt recommended shows 2017, The Word of Mouth Favourites


Incisive, tender, tough and heartbreaking.
Definitely enormously recommended.
Andrew Haydon, Postcards from the Gods


Unlike anything I’ve seen at the fringe before.
Hannah Greenstreet, Exeunt


Lands is an instantly engrossing exploration of obsession, of relationships and communication, of drive and determination, and fear of failure. Expect to be taken on a surprising rollercoaster of emotions, from belly-laughs to anguish.
★★★★  To Do List London


The simplicity is genius.
Sheer brilliance of the writing, directing and acting. 
★★★★  Broadway Baby


Difficult to tie it up in a neat conclusion.
Theatre Bubble


Lands is a fantastic, quietly intelligent allegory 
★★★★ Arthur’s Seat


For many years Antler have been one of the most interesting companies producing work at the Edinburgh Fringe. Their unique style has won them critical praise and is wonderfully exemplified in Lands, which may just be their most engaging work to date.

Strikingly ambitious
