Biography

Greenwood attended Liverpool Art School[3] and the Central School of Arts and Crafts, and then started working at the Oxford Playhouse, in charge of the costume department. She started working in the Ray Diffen costume shop in New York City in 1962. In New York, she met and married scenic designer and producer Ben Edwards.[4]

Greenwood's work includes designing for over 100 productions, The Ballad of the Sad Cafe (1963), her first Broadway play, to Hamlet with Richard Burton (1964), 70, Girls, 70 (1971), Romantic Comedy (1979), I Hate Hamlet (1991), The Sisters Rosensweig (1993), and Stephen Sondheim's Passion (1994).[4]

In addition to her many Broadway credits, she has designed costumes for many productions for the Manhattan Theatre Club, including Accent on Youth (2009), Lincoln Center Theater, Belle Epoque, 2005, and The Roundabout Theatre Company, Waiting for Godot (2009), A Month in the Country (1994–95), Outer Critics Circle Award nomination, and She Loves Me (1992–93).

In England, she was nominated for the Olivier Award for her costume designs for She Loves Me (1995).[5][6]

Her television work includes several Public Television plays for "The American Playhouse", made-for-television movies, such as In the Gloaming, HBO (1997) and the miniseries Kennedy (1983).[2]

For opera, she has designed for the Metropolitan Opera House, such as Ariadne in 1987.[7] For dance, she designed the original costumes for the Alvin Ailey dance Night Creature (1974).[8]

She teaches at the Yale Drama School. Greenwood received the Theater Development Fund Irene Sharaff Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1998.[9]

Greenwood has been awarded the 2014 Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre. The executive directors of the Broadway League and American Theater Wing said, in part "She has made a significant imprint on the history of Broadway with her artistry. Her work has not only elevated the craft of costume design but has inspired generations of designers to come."[10]

In 2015, Greenwood designed the costumes for the Broadway debut of Helen Edmundson's play, Thérèse Raquin.[11]
