Reviews
“All of Me is theatrically alive at every moment, even when conveying the deadening weight of depression. And yes, actually, it is ultimately uplifting – but by being raw, honest and elemental, rather than neat or cutesy.”
The Independent
“The show, with its loops and echoes, recognises mental health as something that ebbs and flows – as well as something that responds to the society we live in.”
The Guardian
“She’s quite something to behold, simultaneously fearsome and wonderful”
The Stage
“What is perhaps most potent about ‘All of Me’ is how it assaults the senses…it’s difficult to watch ‘All of Me’ without feeling in awe of the fact its creator has forced herself to make such a thing.”
Time Out
“Horton is a consummate performer, apologising unapologetically and holding the audience rapt with a single withering look.”
The Scotsman
“All of Me is an act of bravery… What it gives is a blinding interlude of catharsis, yelled out from a void, the path back up to future joy highlighted in
uneven glitter.”
Exeunt
“Her [Caroline’s] unvarnished account of suicidal depression glistens like bitumen as the show serially self-sabotages. It reveals both the seduction and the stasis of opting out”
