Actress - Wife of Edmond/ Theatrical team
Elizabeth and Edmund Holloway were a British theatrical team who became lessees of the Victoria Theatre, Sydney, and formed their own Holloway Company. They appeared on stage together during the 1870's and 1880's in such plays as OLIVER TWIST, HAMLET, OTHELLO, RICHARD EI,TAMING OF THE SHREW, THE ROBBERS OF BOHEMIA or THE MILLER AND HIS MEN, CAPENTER OF ROUEN, AFTER DARK, THE SHIP ON FIRE, LEAH THE FORSAKEN, AURORA FLOYD, LADY AUDLEYS SECRET, HEARTS OF OAK or THE LOST HEIR. THE ROYAL PARDON, SIXTEEN STRING JACK or THE FEMALE HIGHWAYMAN, THE WILL AND THE WAY, MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS and THE DUMB MAS OF MANCHESTER. Mrs Holloway appeared with such actors as Bland Holt,Alfred Dampier (q.v.), George Carey (q.v.), Mrs and Mrs Lachlan McGowan (q.v.), Lydia Howarde and Flora Anstead. The Holloways were described as being an old-fashioned couple, stilted in manner and speech. However, the SMH review of OLIVER TWIST reported, "Mr and Mrs Holloway made the murder of Nancy very realistic. The ardour and warmth they have at their disposal for infusing into characters they assume do not appear to have suffered by the cooling influence of time. Of Mrs Holloway's efforts as Nancy it is impossible to speak unfavourably, although it must be admitted that her voice was too refined for the character
she played." In JANE SHORE Mrs Holloway made a regal Queen Elizabeth. When the Holloway Dramatic Company was touring country areas in 1882, The Bulletin revealed, "the ladies were moved to tears by the richly-deserved woes of Lady Isabel, as interpreted by Mrs Holloway in a rich Limerick brogue."Elizabeth Holloway passed away after a year long battle with cancer Inscribed on her headstone is. "All that live must die, passing through nature to eternity. R.I.P."
