Leah and Sophie have been together, here, for a long time. They are happy here.
​
But there's a problem. There's a massive fucking problem and soon they're going to have to talk about it.
​
The award-winning Antler present a playful, intimate dissection of a relationship teetering on the edge of collapse. Exploring our inability to understand one another, and the lands we isolate ourselves on, this is an absurd tragi-comedy for our times.

​
Antler’s two-hander is a clever piece of contemporary theatre…Lands asks whether we can ever really understand each other or relate to other people’s tragedies. Smart stuff.
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian Recommended Shows 2017
​
A late and very welcome addition to the programme is LANDS by Antler Theatre, a sparse, desolate evocation of loneliness.

​
Incisive, tender, tough and heartbreaking.
Definitely enormously recommended.

Unlike anything I’ve seen at the fringe before.

​
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
​
delicate and poignant while also acknowledging the inherent humour…very affective and eloquent about the harm we sometimes do to ourselves and the people who care about us.
★★★ Natasha Tripney, The Stage
​
The simplicity is genius
Sheer brilliance of the writing, directing and acting
★★★★ Broadway Baby
​
Difficult to tie it up in a neat conclusion.

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