The show was beautifully pieced together. From the opening, the high interaction with the audience made it feel like we were apart of the play and it was real life. Youngsters in the audience finally had representation in a new space.Then the diverse cast were spectacular and responded to social issues in London, told us funny coming of age stories as young black men and shedded light on why we need more diversity in the arts.MORE OF THIS.GREATNESS. Well done to all of the team involved and theatre space for hosting it. A memory I will cherish.
Red pitch was in a very entertaining and engaging show, encapsulating, the black culture within South London. It represented what happens in the wider community in terms of gentrification, and showed the vulnerable side of characters, their dreams, the difficulty's they face within their day to day life's, especially the care and of family members older and younger.
The 3 young actors were amazing, their delivery was perfect, funny, emotional, convincing and just as my grandson tells me it is when you kick about/practice with your friends. The set was simple but effective and our (myself and grandson) seat gave us a bird eye view of what was happening on the stage (pitch) below (second balcony A7, A8) Have recommended to several people since, my view being if they miss out, they will miss a fantastic show.
Great to see relatable theatre for 16 year old boys who love their football.
