Background
Beatrice had always been an outgoing child. From an early age she took great interest in the works at Drury Lane and longed for her own place upon the stages of some of the finer theatre houses in London.
Her wildest dreams would be realized in her early twenties when a Producer at the Quivelot Theatre near Temple Bar spent a weekend at the Howard country home along with many other figures in the art, literature and theatre world for one of Lady Howard's weekend retreats. Beatrice had performed a self-written play to entertain the guests and it had so impressed Mr. Hammond that she found herself swiftly on her way to the professional stage. Her parents, despite their hopes for their daughter's easy future - were resigned to allow her to live the life she chose for herself.
Beatrice's first season out had been very successful for her. She'd had three proposals of courtship during that time and a surplus from genteel admirers - but she had declined the proposals, much to her parents' dismay. No one had made her want to settle down and she did not want to be controlled.
Instead, Beatrice devoted her life to her acting career and found herself quickly in demand. She started working at only the finer theatres in London, Paris and Italy. During the French Revolution, she had been starring in several shows at the Riviere on the Rue Des Beaux Arts and had to quickly make her escape back to London to avoid the politics and economy slump that was quickly smothering France.
The high demand for her most famous name has secured her reputation and social standing in both countries and has dramatically widened her repertoire. She makes her home in London and works exclusively at the Theatre Royal on Drury Lane.
She has recently slowed somewhat in her performance schedule and keeps herself adverse in only two or three plays at any one time rather then the usual eight to ten she had in her early days.
Her hectic schedule left little time for marriage and courtship though she'd been overwhelmed with admirers and proposals from all classes including nobler members of the Ton.
Now that she is 36, unmarried and without children, she has found a need to pursue the part of her life she's not quite yet experienced to the fullest.
