After smash hit seasons in London, Edinburgh and Melbourne, The Pitch by Peter Houghton is coming to Perth!
“...a hysterical spoof on screenwriting... stuffed full of running gags, one liners and great physical comedy. Houghton’s performance is a tour de force of acting technique.... sure to be a sell out hit...” The Age
The Pitch is a hilarious satire about the trials and tribulations of an Aussie trying to crack the big time in Hollywood.
Walter Weinermann, screenwriter, is on the brink. He's broke, his agent is pressuring him, the most important pitch of his career to a panel of big-shot Hollywood producers is less than an hour away, and his girlfriend has left him. Will the panel buy Walter's idea? Should Clint or Russell play the lead? Is there a role for De Niro? Will Walter win an Oscar? And, most importantly, will he get his girl back?
In a one-man blockbuster performance, author and actor Peter Houghton 'channels' Clint Eastwood, Anthony Hopkins, Chris Rock, Jet Li, Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta Jones and many others with a miraculously sharp eye for the Hollywood cliché as he takes the audience on a whirlwind journey through cities and continents, across decades and eras, into and out of genres, all without leaving Walter's flat.
