Pointless
When a product designer receives a fatal diagnosis, his mission to redesign the pencil becomes an all-out obsession. With acerbic wit and pitch-black honesty, Daniel careens between life and death, love and hate, hope and doom.
“Like Sisyphus seeking a happy ending massage.”
A winner of the 2024 New South Young Playwrights Festival.
Cast
The script is written as a one-man show, primarily in monologue, with the lead character, Daniel, as our entry point into Pointless. Other characters (there are eight) should be played by a mixture of recording and the actor playing Daniel. There is an opportunity to reimagine the show with multiple actors, but why?
