Run by Dan Mallaghan and Richard Warburton, lost dog was formed to celebrate the Theatre in the Mill's 25th Birthday (2003) and has been in existence ever since. Initially formed under the remit of creating dark theatre with a sense of humour, the dogs have a strong reputation for their unusual style of storytelling and innovative work with live music: they work with musicians from whole range of backgrounds, most notably not from theatre! Currently working on their seventh show lost dog are dedicated to telling stories that you will want to tell your friends about.

As well as touring new work lost dog also run a number of well respected workshops with people of all ages. The company specialise in new writing for young audiences, tailor making plays for specific cast sizes and ages. Recent work includes a live art installation with 6th formers, A classic Novel on stage with young children aged 5 to 14 and a new play for year 6 children. We also provide a range of specialist workshops that tie in with our current projects: Love in (3) Parts, exploring incorporating live music into stage productions and Happy which explores our own happiness at work and at home. Contact the dog for more details. We also indulge our affection for Pirates with a one day project which brings the terror of the high seas into the classroom. Yaaarrrrrrr.
