Ziggi Blasko is a talk-back host whose power is in his influence over his audience. He fills Sydney’s airwaves with sheer bile and his lashing at political correctness. Not surprisingly, Ziggi’s home is a war zone. His young, second wife Carmela is struggling to re-establish her ballet career after having a baby. his daughter Vivienne has run away from her mother to live with them and his father, deeply depressed according to Ziggi’s sister Connie, also comes to stay. A scathing and bitingly funny play about he media personalities that dominate our lives and the divisions that can shatter families.
