She became a leading member of the company and shared and then gradually supplanted Sarah Hallam Douglass in the principal female roles.
[3] In contrast to what would have been expected by contemporary norms, she did not retire from stage after her marriage.
Her career does seem to have become more irregular after her marriage, however, and Nancy Hallam replaced her as leading lady.
In Jamaica, she produced her own play, a farce written by herself and named 'The West India Lady's Arrival in London', performed at the Kingston Theatre in 1781.
[5] After 1781, she appears not to have acted until 1793, when she made an unsuccessful attempt to return to the stage in the elder Colman's The Jealous Wife [6] at the John Street Theatre.
