Melissa is having a bit of a crisis. This bold, funny and honest piece explores the reasons why: starting with her mum, God and sex… But what happens when we realise mums don’t always know best?
Told by a first-generation British-Ghanaian woman on the hunt for an orgasm, Racheal Ofori’s brave and exuberant So Many Reasons explores cultural and generational shifts, religion and sexuality.
Racheal Ofori is a writer and performer. She was one of The Guardian’s "12 Theatre Stars For 2020" as well as one of Theatre Weekly’s "10 Rising Stars of 2020". TV writing credits include Here Again (lead writer, in development, Balloon Entertainment), Dysfunctional (lead writer, in development, Balloon Entertainment), and Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys (writers' room, Red and Endor Productions). Her play So Many Reasons, produced by Fuel Theatre, transferred to the Soho Theatre in March 2020 after opening at Camden People’s Theatre in 2018. Her previous one-woman show Portrait was performed to sell-out audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe 2015 before heading off on a UK tour, finishing at the Bush Theatre as part of the Radar Festival, and then at the Southbank Centre as part of the Women Of The World Festival. Racheal has appeared on BBC’s Artsnight and has given a TED talk under the title Utopia: Breaking The Rules. She is currently under commission with Cultural Cooperation and Fuel Theatre.
