Rough Haired Pointer

Rough Haired Pointer present The Diary of a Nobody following their critically-acclaimed world premiere of Joe Orton's Fred & Madge.

Evelyn Waugh called The Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith 'the funniest book in the world' and now, following a sell-out success last summer, this fast-moving theatrical spectacular returns as the first show of the King's Head Theatre season.

It stars Charles Pooter, an average Victorian city clerk. With the help of four actors playing forty-five characters, a disgraceful number of builders, a much bashed about piano, some living lamp shades and a star turn from some mustard and cress, Rough Haired Pointer bring this intensely lovable celebration of every day’s small joys and frustrations to vivid life. Come, laugh at Pooter – which we guarantee you will – but isn’t he, really, just a bit like you?
