In 2008, Horgan appeared in Hedda, a modern updated version of Hedda Gabler, directed by Carrie Cracknell[6] in which she played the lead character to favourable reviews; reviewer Charles Spencer in The Telegraph wrote that she was "especially fine as a glamorous, bob-haired Hedda, ... using sex... like a shrimping net".[7]

In 2009 she appeared in a revival of Ferdinand Bruckner's Krankheit der Jugend ("Pains of Youth"), directed by Katie Mitchell, at the National Theatre.[6][8][9][10] In 2010, she appeared in Caryl Churchill's Far Away at Bristol Old Vic, directed by Simon Godwin.[11][12]

From 2013 to 2015 she joined Sean Holmes ten-member Secret Theatre company at the Lyric Hammersmith,[6][14] which experimented with improvisational techniques towards drama. For some performances, a cast member's name was chosen from a hat by an audience member to be the show's protagonist; then, he or she would be "given a series of increasingly impossible acts to accomplish" which could involve such activities as complex dance routines, wrestling, singing and improvisation, according to one account.[15][16] She performed with the ensemble for two years to positive reviews.[17] In an extended interview in Exeunt Magazine, she described her work at Secret Theatre as giving her "freedom to play".[18]

In 2015, she appeared in The Mother at the Ustinov Studio in Bath.[19] In 2017 she appeared in Cellmates at The Hampstead Theatre directed by Edward Hall. Paul Taylor in The Independent wrote[20] "Cara Horgan is delectable in a double as the Russian maid who duets with Bourke in his hammy renditions of “Danny Boy” for his captors and as the wife in a CND couple who have an inconvenient marital meltdown while helping Blake on his first night outside"
