About us
Due to the most recent government guidance about mass gatherings due to COVID-19 (coronavirus), this event has sadly been cancelled or postponed until further notice.
"Hello – I thought I'd introduce myself properly – As is polite."
Written and performed by Olivier Award nominee Caroline Horton – an intimate and absurd exploration of wanting to live, wanting to die and what can happen if we sit together with the dark.
Grudgingly hopeful, occasionally funny, Caroline reunites with director Alex Swift (Mess) to bring you an unapologetically dark show about dark things.
By Caroline Horton
Directed by Alex Swift

***** "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" (Financial Times)
Tickets £11.50 / £13.50 (inclusive of all booking fees and charges)
Suitable for ages 14+ as contains themes of depression and suicide and partial nudity.
