Based on Scotland's failed foray into colonialism - the notorious Darien disaster - Caledonia is a story of greed, euphoria and mass delusion written by political satirist Alistair Beaton (The Trial of Tony Blair and A Very Social Secretary).
Inspired by documents, journals, letters, songs and poems of the period, Caledonia is both a tribute to heroic ambition and a darkly witty take on the deceptions and self-deceptions of rich and poor alike.

Welcome to National Theatre of Scotland
Introduction from Vicky Featherstone,
Artistic Director and Chief Executive
Since our launch in February 2006, over 450,000 people have sat in theatres, stood in woods or on ferries to see our work.
We think long into the night as to what might thrill, entertain, move and excite our audiences. What can we do that will coax you from your homes and encourage you to tell your friends and family to come with you?
This philosophy is made possible by our innovative building-free model, which means we can put on a great variety of work all over Scotland which we hope appeals to the hugely diverse individuals who make up our audience.
