Sarah Woodward (born 3 April 1963) is a British actress who won an Olivier Award in 1998 for Tom & Clem and was Tony nominated in 2000 for The Real Thing. Sarah is the daughter of actor Edward Woodward and his first wife, actress Venetia Barrett. She is sister of actor Tim Woodward, and actor, voice artist, and screenwriter Peter Woodward, and half-sister to actress Emily Woodward, whose mother is actress Michele Dotrice.[1]

Career

Woodward trained as an actress at RADA, where she won the Bancroft Gold Medal, before joining the Royal Shakespeare Company, where she appeared in Antony Sher's Richard III, Kenneth Branagh's Henry V, Roger Rees' Hamlet, and Frances Barber's Camille. She returned to the RSC in 1993, in The Venetian Twins, Murder in the Cathedral, Love's Labour's Lost, and The Tempest, the latter directed by Sam Mendes. She has worked with Mendes in many other plays, including London Assurance, with Paul Eddington (Chichester/Haymarket Theatre); The Sea with Judi Dench (Royal National Theatre); Kean, with Derek Jacobi (Old Vic/Toronto); and Habeas Corpus with Imelda Staunton, Brenda Blethyn, and Jim Broadbent (Donmar). She won the Olivier Award for best performance in a supporting role in 1998 for her role in Tom & Clem by Stephen Churchett,[2] with Michael Gambon and Alec McCowen. She was also nominated for a Tony Award in 2000 for her role in the Donmar Warehouse production of Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing,[3] which transferred to the Albery Theatre (now Noël Coward Theatre) and then Broadway.
