Rough Haired Pointer is a theatre company set up by Mary Franklin (director) and Carin Nakanishi (designer) in 2013. Since then the company has expanded to include a composer, producer and a company of associate actors. Our work combines visual originality, headlong action, unapologetic theatricality, precisely crafted staging and theatrical danger. Our work is rooted in its form – every production we have staged has at its heart a discussion about making a piece of theatre. Our work is intentionally rough around the edges. We believe in constantly celebrating the elements of chance and play in live drama. Both onstage and in rehearsal our artistic aim is organised chaos, with a backbone of trust, fidelity to the text and an understanding that comes from a strong collaborative ethos.
