| | Juggernaut Theatre | FIRST 100 YEARS: Frances Chamberlaine Sheridan |
 | | Frances began attending the theater and, in 1743, she entered into the paper war going on between actor Theophilus Cibber and Thomas Sheridan, the popular young actor and manager of the Theatre Royal, Smock-Alley, Dublin, regarding a costume change gone awry. |
 | | Meredith wonders therefore, whether, despite Frances Sheridan's reputation for sweetness of temper, she had satirized her husband in the characters both of Lord Medway and Sir Anthony, and whether Garrick's sincere admiration for the comedy wasn't heightened by the prospect of using it to get in a dig at his rival. |
 | | Lame from infancy, Frances Sheridan had been plagued with poor health for ten years, and, although energetic and spirited to the last, in 1766 her maladies took a turn for the worse and she suddenly died. |
