Main house and toured around secondary schools in June / July 08.
The event comprised of an audience of 200 young people and two presenters - including Ian Wainwright, head of Education at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre. The two performers played futurologists - one of which was sent back in time to make the most of opportunities he missed the first time around.
Volunteers from a variety of industry sectors joined the performers on stage and others were screened in videos offering life lessons as 'successful' people.
The project appears to have been a great success and will role out again in 2009.
