Greene’s husband, property entrepreneur Robert Bourne, has also resigned as a director of The Old Vic Theatre Trust.
The Old Vic found itself at the center of the Spacey storm in 2017 when, following claims made by actor Anthony Rapp, a cascade of allegations about Spacey’s behavior emerged, including a number of claims about inappropriate conduct pertaining to his time at The Old Vic. “Despite having the appropriate escalation processes in place, it was claimed that those affected felt unable to raise concerns and that Kevin Spacey operated without sufficient accountability,” the theater admitted in the release.
Greene, who spearheaded a multi-million dollar campaign to save the theater in the late 1990s, was responsible for hiring Spacey in 2004. According to her website, she “drew upon her powers of persuasion and convinced” the actor to join the theater, where he remained as artistic director for 11 years until 2015.
