The 24-year-old is cast in the title role in the play at The Dukes Theatre, Lancaster, which is directed by fellow former St Cuthbert’s Primary School pupil Amy Leach, 29.

Rebecca’s performance has been described as “remarkable” in a four-star review by The Guardian.

She landed the role after her gran read an article in the Lancashire Telegraph about the auditions.
