Margaret Nancy Hewins (14 February 1902 – 17 January 1978) was a British theatre director and actress.
She founded the first all-woman theatre troupe who toured the UK presenting Shakespeare particularly to schools.
The troupe would sleep on the floor of village halls as the budget never stretched to paying for board and lodging.
[4] Hewins died in 1978 in Oxford and the players were disbanded by former Osiris member Wynne Griffiths.
It was directed by Brigid Larmour at the Watford Palace Theatre in 2018 and it was set during WWII and included an all-woman cast.
