The Muse Theatre

Penny Bosworth Actor, Writer, Director Penny is originally from Birmingham. Her love for the theatre started from a very young age having grown up with actors from Birmingham’s Rep Theatre staying in her parents home where she would often help actors run their lines. After many years of toying with the idea of becoming an actor full time, Penny went and trained at The Actors Temple and The Salon Collective for six years studying the Sandford Meisner Technique. After graduating in 2019, she began her journey as a stage actress treading the boards on London’s fringe circuit where her passion for theatre was re-ignited. In 2020 she was cast by director Victor Sobchak in his production of ‘Masks - The feast before the plague’ which sparked the beginning of their working relationship. Since their first production together Penny has gone on to play a number of roles in plays directed by Victor Sobchak. Penny now embarks on a new venture along with Victor and the Muse Gallery, bringing theatre into the hub of Portobello, her home of twenty years connecting artists exhibits and plays together.
