Theatre

After leaving school at the age of 15, Woodward wanted to train as a journalist, but took work in a sanitary engineer's office, and then at the age of 16 entered the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). After the Second World War, he became an associate member of that academy.^[6] He was torn between becoming an actor and a professional footballer, and was on the books of Leyton Orient and Brentford, making three appearances in the Football League for the latter, but a serious knee injury kept him out of the game for over a year.^{[citation needed]}

Woodward's professional acting debut was in the Castle Theatre, Farnham, in 1946.^[6] After graduation from RADA, he worked extensively in repertory companies as a Shakespearean actor throughout England and Scotland, making his London stage debut in R. F. Delderfield's Where There's a Will in 1955^[6] and also appeared in the film adaptation that same year, his first film, and then Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet (1955
