Rebecca Grant joins cast of Midsomer Murders

  Actress Rebecca Grant will be joining the cast of Britain's beloved detective drama Midsomer Murders alongside Neil Dudgeon and Gwilym Lee in upcoming two hour episode 'Breaking the Chain.'

Previously, Rebecca performed the world premiere of 'Avocado.' A one woman play written by Vagina Monologues playwright and founder of V-Day and One Billion Rising, Eve Ensler. The play, directed by Mark Rosenblatt, had such a profound impact on audiences at The West Yorkshire Playhouse and encouraged live post play panel discussions lead by other leading Human Rights Campaigners namely actress Monique Wilson and writer Bidisha Mamata.

After receiving four/five star reviews in the press 'Avocado' has been selected to be performed by Rebecca at Latitude Festival this year as a live reading on the 17th of July. For more info please visit:

Please see reviews below:



The Guardian ★★★★
"It receives a searingly intense performance from Rebecca Grant, whose willingness to imagine the unimaginable is commendable."

West Yorkshire Post ★★★★★
"This is what theatre is for" , "Intensely powerful"

North Leeds Life Magazine
"Rebecca's portrayal was so powerful and riveting. You sat in the dark like her and listened as, gasping for air, she told her tale of violence and abuse."

The Public Reviews ★★★★
"Rebecca Grant performs this one woman play which echoes the playwright’s feelings of these issues.  At the beginning the audience is asked to close their eyes and imagine what is like not remembering exactly where they are and everything that is held dear has slipped away.   Grant plays well the young woman very intensely and dramatically and portrays a lot of emotions including conscription of fear to sheer frustration."

Backseat Mafia Review
"So the playhouse are throwing some serious talent at this production with former Holby City and Emmerdale star Rebecca Grant playing a woman struggling to free herself from the ruthless criminals who are using her."

State of the Arts
"The central character is fierce and humorous, strong and yet tender. It’s a powerful performance from Rebecca Grant, best known for her role on Holby City, intensified by unnervingly oppressive sound design and lighting."
