Career

Night’s highest-profile stage role, to date, is in a West End production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. She has said that being in a Wilde play “makes you want to stand a bit taller, and it’s nice getting to play dress up and be kind of refined. But it’s also nice to leave it all behind, at the end of the day, to be able to put on your trainers and jeans.”

She has appeared in three ITV dramas: Wuthering Heights as Catherine Linton, Caught in a Trap as Becci, directed by Michael Samuels, and as Yvonne Moncin in the 2016 production of Maigret Sets A Trap.
