After their success with the hilarious Ladies Day, Hull Truck Theatre are set to make a welcome return down the A62 to York Theatre Royal with John Godber’s classic caravanning comedy, Perfect Pitch. This must-see comedy runs in the main house from 20-24 March.
Yvonne and Ron seem to have it all. A comfortable life, a pristine marriage, three teenage daughters, and a spanking new caravan on a ‘perfect pitch’ in Scarborough. The trouble is Yvonne didn’t want a caravan, she wanted a gite in France, but Ron has other ideas. Their peace is shattered by the arrival of slobby Grant and brassy Steph - ‘The Grunts’ - who are as common as muck and whose sex life is rampant.
They pitch their clapped out caravan next to the disgusted Yvonne and troubled ex-headmaster, Ron whose practical skills are virtually non-existant. Godber’s dark comedy cuts to the quick of caravanning contrasting the free spirits of Grant and Steph with starched fitness freak Yvonne and ineffective Ron. In an extraordinary turn of events, life for the middle-class pair is never the same again…
This Godber classic features James Hornsby (Men of the World, Hull Truck), Julie Higginson (Little Voice, Hull Truck), Adrian Hood (Harvest, The Royal Court), and Kate Baines (Up’n’Under Hull Truck).
‘Godber’s work remains an astute observation. There is always an air of uncomfortable tension floating around the laughs’
The Stage
Perfect Pitch is a must-see slice of caravanning life!
