[2] Bicknell's first known appearance was at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, located in London, England, on 20 August 1702.
[2] Subsequent years saw her appear as Miss Prue in Congreve's "Love for Love," Miss Hoyden in the "Relapse" of Vanbrugh, Melantha in "Marriage à la Mode," and other characters of which sauciness and coquetry are the chief features.
Her name appears to a petition signed by Barton Booth and other actors of Drury Lane Theatre, presented apparently around 1710 to Queen Anne, complaming of the restrictions upon the performances of the petitioners imposed by the lord chamberlain.
[2] In 1713, she appeared in John Gay's comedy The Wife of Bath and two years later in The What D'Ye Call It.
She remained at Druiy Lane from 1708 to 1721, on 14 February of which year she 'created' the character of Lady Wrangle in Cibber's comedy, the "Refusal."
