Rachel is a writer for stage & screen. Her latest play, SLIME, was a finalist for the Lila Acheson Wallace Playwrights Fellowship at Juilliard, shortlisted for the Original Theatre playwriting prize, awarded a Peggy Ramsay Grant, and received a rehearsed reading at the West End’s Criterion Theatre.

 Her debut play, BROMLEY BEDLAM BETHLEHEM, opened at the Old Red Lion in 2019, and was awarded the Methuen Drama / Marlowe Society ‘Other Prize’. The Stage called it “a sensitive and sharp portrayal” and it was listed on Lyn Gardner’s Top Picks. 

Her short film, THE GIRL WITH THE HAUNTED VAGINA, was commissioned by the British Film Institute Network and stars Sophie Duker. Her short play, MUDDER, was selected for the Samuel French 49th Off-Off-Broadway Short Play Festival in New York.

She studied English at Cambridge University where she became the first person to win both playwriting prizes, and was published in the Mays Anthology, edited by Kate Bush.
