Graham Ronald Farrow is an English playwright and screenwriter from North Yorkshire; living in Yarm, born in Middlesbrough,[1] and educated at Scarborough College.[2] His first novel, Speak no Evil, was nominated for the 1989 Commonwealth Writer's Prize.[3] [4]

His stageplays Talk about the Passion[5] [6] [7] and Rattlesnakes have been produced globally; they are especially popular in the United States and London, but regularly play in different countries throughout the world and are translated into many different languages. Talk about the Passion and Rattlesnakes are published by Methuen of London.[8] When Talk about the Passion ran in London in February 2018, The Stage Newspaper called the production one of the 'picks of the week'.[9] Talk about the Passion had its Asian premiere in Istanbul[10] in November 2018, directed by Turkish actor/musician Emre Kinay.[11]
