Rebecca Denmark

Rebecca Denmark is a professional actress who is currently starring in the one woman show Conversations With Barbara in which she plays four parts, two of which are male! On opening night she received a standing ovation and her four star review at the Guildford Fringe ended with a request for an extension to the piece. The production company is currently working through the process of taking this play into London at the end of the year. Rebecca played Miranda in Shakespeare’s The Tempest to acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe, many critics applauding the three-dimensional portrayal of a character who can often be presented in a one-dimensional light. As Amy in Squeaky Door’s Rob and Amy, a piece that she created and co-wrote, she had a whole community of people so engaged with her character that to this day people offer Amy quotes!

“What do you do all day, scratching around with your blunt pencil, I’m a bloody doctor you know!”

Her current preoccupation is focused on the development of a curious and fragile fairy called Dandelion Seed, a character that is entirely voiced for a series of up and coming audio books. Rebecca has just finished recording the audio play: The Cagebirds by David Campton for Listening Books, in which she played the Wild One.
