The Pitch

One Aussie’s shot at the Hollywood big time.

A PALPABLE HITS PRODUCTION BY PETER HOUGHTON.

Winner of 2 Green Room Awards - Best Actor and Best New Australian Play.

After smash hit seasons in London, Edinburgh and Melbourne, The Pitch now embarks on a national tour of Australia. The Pitch is a hilarious satire about the trials and tribulations of an Aussie trying to crack the big time in Hollywood. We watch as aspiring screenwriter Walter Weinerman desperately practices pitching his film concept to an all powerful Hollywood flim industry panel. In this hilarious panic stricken and desperate effort Walter demonstrates all the roles that he hopes will be played by Hollywood’s A-list actors, including a clenched teeth Clint Eastwood, a debonair Sir Anthony Hopkins and a scintillating Catherine Zeta Jones.

Peter Houghton’s The Pitch is one hilarious antidote for the many clichéd and overdone Hollywood blockbusters that we are all familiar with.

“Every now and then in the theatre you have the pure pleasure of watching an absolutely wonderful performance. I had that that pleasure last night. The show is called The Pitch.” – ABC, Radio National
