The Pitch Moya Jane Productions

Sports mad, local boy Robbie has lived in Sydenham his whole life. He practices football every day on his favourite pitch, with his younger sister Melissa. GAA player Deren has lived in East Belfast since he was a kid too, but he’s never had a pitch to call home.

All that begins to change when plans are revealed for THE PITCH to be turned into a Gaelic Football ground. For Robbie it’s an invasion of his culture. For Deren it’s a chance to play the sport he loves, on a pitch that isn’t miles away. For Melissa it’s an opportunity to try out this ‘niche’ little sport she’d never really paid attention to!

As a United Ireland Referendum looms on the horizon, this unlikely trio continually encounter each other, on an ever-evolving pitch, arguing about everything, from the correct colour of Tayto packets, Irish street signs and whether or not you should call it Soccer.

If Deren can get Robbie into Gaelic Football, who knows how he’d feel about Northern Ireland re-joining its neighbour? Or will it be too much, too soon for homebird Robbie?

Belfast is changing, but what kind of future awaits?
