tage

Jane Menelaus has worked with both the South Australian and Melbourne Theatre Companies. Her stage work has included appearance in the William Shakespeare plays, "The Winter's Tale" with the South Australian 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.

Television appearances include the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" (as "Gwendolen Fairfax"), "The Flying Doctors", "A Country Practice", "A Thousand Skies", "Blue Heelers" and "Janus" (as "Jenny Hanson), and the television mini-series "Robbery Under Arms".

Films

Films in which she appears include "Quills" and "The Dish".
