BiographyHistory

Rose Edouin started her career as a child actress/entertainer in London and toured Australia as a juvenile with her family. After marrying George Lewis in 1864 she became known professionally as Mrs G. B. W. Lewis. The couple was primarily associated with theatrical ventures in the East between 1867 and 1876, with years 1872-1876 also including tours of Australasia. They settled in Melbourne in 1876, becoming the Bijou Theatre’s first lessees, while Rose additionally operated her own academy. Together they also leased and/or managed theatres in Sydney, Melbourne and New Zealand during the 1880s. Rose toured her own companies through Australia and New Zealand in the 1890s and continued acting and teaching after her husband's death in 1906.
