On 5 August 2026, Teviot Row House in Edinburgh will host *Fake*, a theatre piece from Chris Cook that fuses magic, comedy and storytelling. The show delves into the true account of a master forger who faked his way to freedom, prompting questions about authenticity, talent and deception. Through the figure of a magician whose promise may hide a lie, and an artist so accomplished he might himself be a fraud, Cook examines the hazy boundary between creation and counterfeit. The production was named Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of the Fringe 2025 and hailed as a masterclass in storytelling. Tickets can be obtained via the venue’s website.
