"[Julius Caesar] was full of ingenuity from make-up artist Rachel York" (A Younger Theatre)
"This detail to costume and make-up is not often seen on the fringe" (Newsshopper)
Rachel York trained in makeup for Theatre, Film and Television at the London Makeup School and Westminster College, developing a special interest in theatrical makeup and special effects.
Rachel is the Head of Wigs, Hair & Make-Up at Immersion Theatre and is also the resident make-up artist for Le Nouveau Guignol, the UK's only repatory horror theatre company.
