About me
Rachel Mars is a multi award-winning stage/screen writer and performer based in London. The only gay in a British Jewish family, she has been telling stories in too loud a voice for England since she can remember.
Stage: Rachel’s work has been seen most recently at the Barbican, Soho Theatre and The Public Theater NYC. BLOOD PLAY was recently shortlisted for the Women’s Playwriting Prize and developed at the O’Neill Theater Center National Playwrights’ Conference. Your Sexts are Shit: Older Better Letters, an archive of queer sex writing, has toured all over the UK and the US. Our Carnal Hearts, a live choral dissection of envy, won a Total Theatre Award, and has toured Europe, the US and Australia. Her recent metalwork installation FORGE sees her recreate and destroy a replica of the Dachau gates. She is currently under commission at Soho Theatre London and HOME Manchester.
Screen: she was a participant on the inaugural The Writers Lab UK and Ireland program, the Royal Court Theatre x Sister Pictures Development scheme, and a Finalist on 4Stories in 2022, and is developing a number of projects, predominantly in comedy, for TV and feature.
