Biography

Rebecca Night, a talented actress, burst onto the scene with her leading role in Andrew Davies' BBC hit show "Fanny Hill", directed by James Hawes, alongside Alison Steadman and Samantha Bond. She has since established herself as a versatile performer, effortlessly transitioning between theatre, film, and television.

Rebecca shares her time between New York and London with her husband, actor Harry Hadden-Paton, and their children. Her impressive range of roles has taken her to the stages of renowned theatres, including the West End, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, and Chichester Festival Theatre.

In recent years, she has co-starred in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Night, Mother" alongside acting royalty Stockard Channing, earning critical acclaim for her performance. As described by lead theatre critic Mark Shenton, "Night is like a young Julia Roberts... with natural stage chops... It turns out to be a riveting, revealing evening."

Rebecca's film work includes Oscar-nominee Mike Figgis' 'Suspension of Disbelief' and notable television roles in ITV's 'Wuthering Heights', 'Maigret', and Sky's 'Starlings'. She has also appeared in Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' and led the audio and podcast drama re-make of 'Gaslight' alongside James Purefoy and Cathy Tyson.

Theatre credits include Frances in David Hares's 'Racing Demon', Queen Elizabeth in Oscar-winner David Seidler's North American Premiere of The King's Speech, and Cecily Cardew in Peter Gill's The Importance of Being Earnest in London's West End. She has also performed in Sir Richard Eyre's production of 'A Flea in Her Ear' at the Old Vic Theatre and Rose of Sharon in Chichester Festival Theatre's production of 'Grapes of Wrath'.

Rebecca created the role of Jack Cardiff's carer Lucy alongside Tony-winner Robert Lindsay in Tony-winner Terry Johnson's "Prism", showcasing her impressive range by transforming into both Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall. She has also reprised her role of Cecily Cardew in the Roundabout Theater's Gala Night of "The Importance of Being Earnest" on Broadway, alongside the legendary Dame Angela Lansbury.

Trained at Rose Bruford College, where she played Charity in 'Sweet Charity', and the National Youth Theatre, where she starred in 'Master and Margarita' alongside Matt Smith, Rebecca is a talented writer as well as a performer.
