Life

Bradshaw comes to notice playing young women.[1] She joined the Drury Lane company in 1843-44 and would remain there for 37 years.[2]

In 1760[2] she was the first person to play the nurse in Polly Honeycombe and this became "her part" appearing in that role when it was put on.[1] By this point she had moved successfully to take the role of older women like the nurse.

She appeared with David Garrick in the Farmer's Wife and she a Garrick appeared in Zoffany's painting. Samuel De Wilde reproduced a portrait of Bradshaw by extracting the figure from Zoffany's painting. De Wilde's portrait is the National Portrait Gallery.[3]

In 1767 she appeared as Dorcas who is a deaf woman in her seventies who arrives on stage in David Garrick's Cymon to sing of her age. She was painted in this role by Thomas Parkinson and this painting is owned by the Garrick Club.[4]

Bradshaw died in Plymouth in 1780 after her daughter, Elizabeth, was booed off the stage.[5]
