Perfect Pitch is an observational comedy exploring class, culture, and modern relationships. Set on a scenic Yorkshire coastal cliff campsite, the play follows two mismatched couples forced into close quarters, turning a supposedly quiet holiday into a hilarious and revealing psychological clash.
When teacher Matt borrows his parent’s caravan for a week on the Yorkshire coast with partner Rose, they were expecting four days of hill running and total de-stress. But with a Tribfest taking place nearby, Grant and Steph’s pop-up tent is an unwelcome addition to their perfect pitch.
