Rachel and Fiona can agree they met at a book group. But what book they were reading or where they ate their chips on the way home is yet to be confirmed… When Rachel Met Fiona is a fast-paced, funny play about capturing the epic emotions of the most common human events through the eyes of a lesbian couple.

The characters themselves are beautifully complex and flawlessly executed … Every beat has a strong foundation in the emotional and social interactions, and dialogue flows naturally, with every moment of silence carrying equal depth and insight into the psychological core of each character.
No More Workhorse.
A short, seamless performance presented as a series of vignettes allowing us to recreate the time and space in between… the intimacy of the play which almost had the impact of us eavesdropping on the private sphere, or listening to what’s going on next door – not that we would.
Thespians View.
The show was a brilliant exploration of LGBTQIA+ relationships, containing content such as fertility treatment and division of labour within the home… It is important to recognise that there is still far too little on stage which explores the realities for LGBTQIA+ people, and When Rachel Met Fiona does this beautifully
“This was a beautiful show it was to be a part of. It was joyous to join a team of fellow LGBTQIA+ theatre makers and be a small part of making Rachel and Fiona’s world.“
