Jane Menelaus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jane Menelaus is an Australian actress.

Jane Menelaus appeared in the William Shakespeare plays, "The Winter's Tale" with the South Australia Theatre Company in 1987 (at The Playhouse in Adelaide, South Australia), and "Troilus and Cressida" (at the Old Museum Building in 1989). A fellow cast member, for both these productions, was Geoffrey Rush.

As well as a busy acting schedule with other plays, Jane Menelaus appeared in an on-going production of "The Importance of Being Earnest" as "Gwendolen Fairfax", with Geoffrey Rush as "John Worthing". The play's popularity is shown in the fact that the production lasted over a period from 1988 to 1992, and was televised by the ABC.

Since 1988, Jane Menelaus has been married to Geoffrey Rush, with whom she has a daughter, Angelica (b. 1992) and a son, James (b. 1995).
