Lewis and Rose Edouin Lewis (29 January 1844 – 24 August 1925) was a British actress and playwright who lived for some years in India and Australia. She and her siblings were child performers. She married George Benjamin William Lewis. She returned to acting working, in the UK and South Africa, after they ran short of money in the 1890s. She was one of the first women in Australia to play the title part of Hamlet. After her husband died in Australia she returned to Britain where she continued to act in Shakespeare's plays.
