Theatre writing group
Farnham Playwrights Collective was a loose association of theatre writers with whom Mark Hewitt was involved from 2008 - 2011. Based at Farnham Maltings in Surrey, the group met at regular intervals to discuss work, also putting on scratch performances of new writing and work in progress.
