It’s surprising to hear Rebecca Harpur wants to be an accountant when she leaves school, she is musical, theatrical and creative. But she is also someone who clearly knows who she is and where she is going. It was that confidence that saw the 17-year-old Feilding High School pupil shine at the recent Regional Festival of Shakespeare for secondary schools. Rebecca performed in three scenes of which she composed the music for and directed one as well. It was for directing that she won the NSSP Direct Entry Best Actor Award, an honour which will see her travelling to Dunedin at the end of the year to take part in a workshop and production. Rebecca picked Shakespeare’s Rebecca Harpur lesser known play Coriolanus to won an award direct after she saw the movie recently for her adaption. directing skills.
