Also referred to as Mrs [[Marie Duret]].
 
 
 
 
 
 
She apparently worked in Port Elizabeth and Cape Town between 1861 and 1871 with her husband, Mr [[J.H. le Roy]],  as one half of the [[Leroy and Duret]] or [[Le Roy and Duret Company]]. They were particularly active in the work presented by the British garrison in Cape Town.
 
 
 
She was generally regarded as a formidable actress and clearlty a character actress and seasoned transformationist, performing multiple roles in various plays specifically selected for her, including three characters in ''[[The French Spy, or The Wild Arab of the Desert]]'', six in the protean farce ''[[The Actress of All Work]]'' (Oxberry) and eight in ''[[Winning a Husband]]'' (Buckstone).
