We chatted to artistic director (and sister to Rachel), Flo O'Mahony about Perfect Show For Rachel. The production can be seen at Contact Theatre, Manchester on Wed 19 - Sat 22 November 2025.
tep into Rachel’s unique, often hilarious world in this critically acclaimed show, a “joyous celebration of theatre without the rules” (★★★★ The Stage) combining physical theatre, live music, family memories, massive fights and fart jokes in an electric, moving and triumphant tapestry.
Rachel is a theatre-loving, enigmatic, learning-disabled 35 year-old who loves Kylie, heckling her sister, and seeing people falling over.
At the touch of a button she commands the action, each scene brought to life by a skilled cast ready for whatever she asks of them.
From bar room brawls to a bourbon biscuit cabaret - get ready, this is Rachel’s Perfect Show.
"A disarming labour of love." (★★★★ The Times).
"Why can’t more theatre be like this? Open, relaxed, fun and full of love." (★★★★★ The Guardian).
