Welcome to The Learning Lottery, the fast-past, high stakes game show putting adults in the black lace-up shoes of UK secondary students to ask one simple question - how well would you do in school?

Playing as a team, you'll guide three young characters through their time at school. Can you can help them overcome the challenges of a system stacked against them and guide them to the future of their dreams?

Upstart Theatre's critically-accaimed interactive theatre show uses humour and play to expose the hidden - and not-so-hidden - bias and discrimination in our schools.
