About Shared Experience
Shared Experience has been instrumental in pioneering a distinctive performance style that celebrates the union of physical and text-based theatre. We are committed to creating theatre that goes beyond our everyday existence, giving form to the hidden world of the psyche /emotion and imagination. We seek to explore the relationship between the world we inhabit and our inner lives.
Text and language plays a major part in our productions as we strive to offer our audience not only visual excitement, but also deep emotional engagement and intellectual stimulus.
We see the rehearsal process as a genuinely open forum for asking questions and taking risks that redefine the possibilities of performance. At the heart of the company's work is the power and excitement of the actors physical presence and the collaboration between actor and audience - a shared experience.

A 4* review for #AsYouLikeItTour in The Stage! http://bit.ly/2t2Uqo9
Saw AYLI last night in Portsmouth with my wife and our daughter. We laughed often and enjoyed the show so much that we are still chatting about it this morning. Beautifully staged and wonderfully acted this is as good a production as you could wish for. Bravo to all involved and come back soon - I’ll bring a coach load of friends for you deserve a full house.
