Actors biography:

Lorna is an Edinburgh based actor that studied in London, and spent several years touring around the UK and Europe.

In August 2024, she played Roz in Kangaroo Court’s production of ‘Shotgunned’ at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. For this performance she received The Bright Spark Award for emerging Scottish Talent (The Scottish Theatre Awards 2024).

Since graduating from the University of Greenwich in 2019, Lorna has toured as an actor with several companies, including; Chapterhouse Theatre Company; White Horse Theatre; Teatrino; and West Midlands Children’s Theatre.

Lorna has also starred in several short films, and in September 2023 she wrapped, as the character Olivia, in Hollow Ground Productions feature film “Down a dark street”.
Now that she is back in Edinburgh she is looking to make more connections in the Scottish industry, and to create work that both challenges and excites her.

Reviews:

– “While their parents watched in admiration at the believable portrayal of undying and heart breaking love, performed by Hermia” (Laura Lynott, 2023)
– “For me, the actor in the role of Puck was sensational, along with Hermia” (Laura Lynott, 2023).
– “Lorna Panton, the impassioned Marianne, was convincing in her heartache” (Lauren Crisp, 2023).
– “I fully expect to see… Lorna Panton… move on to grander productions before long” (The Times, 2020).
