“Urgent, funny and intensely moving... It demands we build a society where we can truly see and value one another. Its insistence on radical empathy shines bright.”
- Guardian
“Standing ovations are still rare for new plays But the audience leaping to its feet and cheering for Martinez’s powerful, extraordinary ‘All Of Us’ was fully justified.”
- British Theatre
“Powerful and poignant... Wittily dismantles preconceptions about life with disability... A call to action that fizzes with rage and protest.”
- Stage
“Both gut-wrenchingly serious and hilariously funny… A stimulating piece of theatre.'”
- British Theatre Guide
“Harnesses theatre's unique power to affect the emotions viscerally, to shake the complacency out of us, to upset us and anger us. Martinez's play does that and powerfully so.”
- Broadway World
