Description
Rachel O’Connell is a London based actor and singer from Cork, Ireland. She can be seen as Nancy Madigan on The Young Offenders on BBC. She was reprising her role in the Irish premiere of the one-woman show Iphigenia in Splott (Reality check Productions) when Covid hit and all theatres shut their doors.
