Richard Greenberg Dies: Tony-Winning ‘Take Me Out’ Playwright Was 67
Richard Greenberg, the playwright behind 'Take Me Out', 'Three Days of Rain' and 'Eastern Standard', has died. He was 67.
Theater director Robert Falls also reacted to Greenberg’s passing after they were “deep in collaboration on his gorgeous adaptation” of Philip Barry’s Holiday, which he called a “profound loss mid-process” ahead of its premiere at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre in February. Born Feb. 22, 1958 in New York City, Greenberg graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University, where he studied creative writing under Joyce Carol Oates. In addition to his Tony-winning work on Take Me Out, Greenberg was known for penning such plays as The Dazzle, The American Plan, Life Under Water and The Author’s Voice, as well as the 2013 Broadway adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the book for the musical Far From Heaven.
