Costume Designer

Internationally renowned costume designer Andy Neofitou’s highly acclaimed work for the Royal Shakespeare Company over many years led to her outstanding success with Les Misérables directed by Trevor Nunn and John Caird – still playing in the West End and many other countries. Her beautifully researched and detailed period costumes won her a coveted Tony Award nomination and the production recently re-opened on Broadway. Andy will create the costumes for Trevor Nunn’s new production of Gone With the Wind which is due to open at the New London Theatre early in 2008.

She also designed the costumes for the other huge international success, Miss Saigon, directed by Nicholas Hytner. It began life at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and her designs are seen in the many productions continuing worldwide.

Andy’s other major costume designs for the theatre in London and the West End include Grease at the Dominion Theatre, The Far Pavilions, The Baker’s Wife directed by Trevor Nunn, Timon of Athens with David Suchet in the title role also directed by Trevor Nunn at the Young Vic, Peter Pan at the Royal National Theatre directed by John Caird and the arena production of Bizet’s opera Carmen at the Royal Albert Hall directed by Frank Dunlop.

Andy has many international credits – among them Nabucco directed by Elijah Moshinsky for New York’s Metropolitan Opera, Miss Julie in Athens, the musical Jane Eyre directed by John Caird on Broadway – for which she received an Outer Critics Circle award nomination – and Cameron Mackintosh’s revised version of Martin Guerre in the United States.

Her credits with the Royal Shakespeare Company include The Changeling directed by Michael Attenborough, Bill Alexander’s production of The Merchant of Venice with Antony Sher, and Fair Maid of the West directed by Trevor Nunn for the opening of the Swan Theatre at Stratford, transferring later to the Mermaid Theatre in London. She designed the costumes for Hedda Gabler with Glenda Jackson at the Aldwych, in Canada and the USA; Once in a Lifetime at the Aldwych and the Piccadilly; Peter Pan, which enjoyed three separate runs at the Barbican, and Nicholas Nickleby in the United States as well as Stratford.

Among Andy’s film credits are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead starring Richard Dreyfuss, directed by the author Tom Stoppard, and Still Life with Roger Daltrey.
