Like many people I quite like the TV programme Dragon's Den - I like the ideas pitched with a sprinkling of adrenaline and the hope. I love the hope. But I really don't like that the contestants (that's what they are, right?) have to persuade individuals, with their piles of money sitting gloatingly on the table in front of them, to patronise their ideas. Really I'd like to see all the contestants have to decide which idea deserves the money - even if it means supporting someone else's idea and not realising their own.
I've always been really interested in collective decision...

Perhaps that sounds rather dry and dusty, but you should be assured that this is...

For the past few weekends, right in the heart of Exeter and under your noses, a new and very different form of theatre has been taking place.
In You With Me , there’s no stage, no visible actors, no audience sitting comfortably. Instead, this production offers a personal, unique and totally different experience, taking participants on a journey through Exeter and guiding them on a playful adventure in which unexpected incidents cause familiar routes to be seen with fresh eyes.
The perfomance starts with a phone call to a stranger - you know not what they look like...
