Graham Ronald Farrow is an English playwright who lives in Yarm-on-Tees. Born in Middlesbrough, he is a huge fan of Middlesbrough Football Club. His first novel, Speak no Evil was nominated for the 1989 Commonwealth Writer's Prize.[1]

His stageplays, Talk about the Passion [2][3] and Rattlesnakes have been produced globally; they are especially popular in the United States and London. Rattlesnakes is to be produced as a motion picture by Piper Films of London. Talk about the Passion and Rattlesnakes are published by Methuen of London.

Other plays produced include Lake of Fire, Pure Morning,[4] Hair of the Dog and Down Amongst the Dead Men.

Farrow's plays typically deal with losers, loners, the down and out and the dispossessed; all searching for redemption or resolution of some sort. He is great friends with the theatre director Franc Roddam.

His latest play, Stay with me till Dawn, a modern-day morality tale, was produced by Second Skin Theatre company in January 2010.[5]

A new play, Still, was set to open in Chicago in March 2013. Talk about the Passion is in development as a motion picture with Darren Bender and Bigger Pictures Production company of London. Farrow has written the screenplay.
