Achurch, Janet (1864–1916), English actress, who made her first appearance at the Olympic in 1883. She was one of the first actresses in England to appear in
Ibsen, being seen as Nora in
A Doll's House in 1889. In 1896 she produced
Little Eyolf with herself as Rita, Mrs Patrick
Campbell as the Ratwife, and Elizabeth
Robins as Asta. She was also seen as Shaw's heroine in
Candida and as Lady Cicely Waynflete in his
Captain Brassbound's Conversion (both 1900). Shaw called her ‘the only tragic actress of genius we now possess’, and some excellent descriptions of her acting can be found in his
Our Theatres in the Nineties. She retired from the stage in 1913.
