The Pitch ~ May 20 – 24

By Peter Houghton
Watch in delight as Walter Weinerman, aspiring screenwriter, desperately practices pitching his film to Hollywood executives. It’s his one shot at the big time and there’s a lot at stake. It’s a chance to prove to the world and his former girlfriend that he’s got what it takes. Walter’s script is a heady cocktail of action, mystery, revenge and romance set in way too many exotic locations. In a hilarious panic-stricken effort, Walter demonstrates all the roles he wants played by Hollywood’s A-list, including a clenched-teeth Clint Eastwood, a debonair Sir Anthony Hopkins and a scintillating Catherine Zeta Jones. This brilliant new satire about the trials and tribulations of cracking the big time in Hollywood was a huge hit in Melbourne and picked up two prestigious Green Room Awards for performance and best new play along the way.
