Synopsis:

As the COVID-19 pandemic ravages theatres around the world, a motley trio of theatre companies band together to create an urgent project that's pitch-perfect for our times.

But will their noble mission survive cash-flow problems, creative differences and clashing egos? Can they keep the drama off-stage? And do they know what the hell they are doing?

At a time when going to the theatre is strictly off-limits, The Pitch cheekily raises the curtain on three theatre companies as they struggle to make art – and make peace! – with one another. Go behind the scenes with us and, through acclaimed film-maker Ken Kwek's subversive lens, see Ivan Heng, Gaurav Kripalani and Adrian Pang as you've never seen them before!
