Pointless Design is a 1938 Australian radio play by Richard Lane. It was Lane's first notable radio work although his second one produced (after The Man was Blind). It was inspired by Lane's travels to Europe.[1][2]
Wireless Weekly called it "an excellent play. A character study of a negro vaudeville tap dancer, as seen through two young idealistic people’s eyes. This play will add to the small collection of literary radio plays written in Australia, and would stand publishing in the printed form."[3]
It was broadcast again in 1939.[4] A review of this production said it "gave me more pleasure than l can say. This penetrating sketch is as amusing, as moving and as pitiful as life itself."[5]
The play was produced again in 1940[6] and 1941.[7]
