Hi, I’m Virginia Thorn, an actor based in London & East Sussex, with my own Theatre Company
I am a Meisner-trained actor and classically trained singer with a portfolio spanning theatre, music, sound editing and voice-over. I received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Editing on the HBO Generation Kill by David Simon and am a graduate of Rose Bruford College.
In 2023 I co-founded Pocket Of Light Theatre Company. Following a sell-out run in the lead role of John Patrick Shanley’s Savage in Limbo, I have been developing our new 2026 project as Creative Producer alongside director Sebastien Blanc: a new play with acclaimed playwright Doug Lucie, supported by Arcola Theatre and funded by Arts Council England. Lucie’s work has been produced at theatres including The Royal Court, The Bush and The National.
The year began with the news that we are funded by Arts Council England. With the support of Mehmet Ergen, we began script development with an R&D at Arcola Theatre. We are deeply grateful for the belief in the project. The play centres on the marginalisation of older voices in theatre and society, with a full production scheduled for 2027.
Alongside theatre, I work as a role-play actor, voice-over artist, and composer and performer on the folk scene. I am currently voicing e-learning courses for the tech company Coding Liquids on Udemy. I hold an MA in Creative Arts Psychotherapy and have led multidisciplinary teams across therapeutic and educational settings, including the design and delivery of a bespoke performing arts SEN curriculum.
‘I love to co-create..
work that is inspiring, challenging & meaningful’
With Thanks,
Virginia
