Penny Gkritzapi

Director

I am a theatre practitioner from Athens, Greece.I graduated from the University of Fine Arts- Department of Theatre Studies in Nafplio and then trained as an actor in one of the oldest drama schools of Athens, Traga Drama School. Following a few years of acting, directing and drama teaching around Greece, came to London to train as a stage director and got my MA in Theatre Directing. I have been directing shows for Polymorph Theatre since 2015 and been part of the Blue Sky Actors for the past five years (17 productions). I am also an associate artist of FaceFront Theatre.

I am a member of SDUK (Stage Directors UK) and also a member of the Director's Cut Theatre.
