Inside Odds On
Step into a unique pop-up experience on your local high street. For two weeks only, Dante or Die Theatre Company has transformed an empty shop into a captivating film and exhibition space.
Inside Odds On is an Arts Council Funded installation and creative engagement project by Dante or Die touring UK high streets in Derby, Harlow, Wolverhampton, Rochdale and Lincoln in summer/autumn of 2024. At the heart of Inside Odds On is DoD’s award-winning interactive short film, Odds On, which transports audiences into the addictive world of online gambling through a fictional game: Pearls of Fortune.
The film Odds On provides a 40 minute simulated experience of gambling where audiences are put in the shoes of an older female as she battles the highs & lows of gambling. The film was created in consultation with people with lived experience of gambling harm through Gordon Moody gambling recovery centres throughout the UK.
There are a series of free workshops, panel discussions, special screenings and Q&As for you to take part in in addition to the virtual experience, and a launch event to kick off the project here in Lincoln.

Rather than expecting a space to conform to the needs of a 'traditional' theatrical experience, you are instead taking the space and using it to develop, create, and explore new and immersive theatrical experience.
