Rachel O’Mahony doesn’t give two hoots that her evolving stage production got five stars from the Guardian. The show may have won awards, had barnstorming reviews and made its audiences weep buckets, but Rachel’s own delight is what matters. As for anyone else who has the pleasure of watching? Rachel puts it perfectly. “Lucky you,” she says.
You see, this joyous, anarchic, different-every-time production has been tailored specifically, by Rachel’s younger sister Flo, to suit the tastes of 35-year-old Rachel, who has learning disabilities, loves Kylie and fart jokes, and is in total control of what happens on stage each night. It’s all in the show’s title: Perfect Show for Rachel.
