As far as we know this will be the first W.A. production of this play which broke all box office records for the Sydney Opera House Drama Theatre when first produced in 2005. The title comes from the influence wielded by radio shock jocks such as Alan Jones and John Laws.
SYNOPSIS:
Ziggi Blasko knows how to turn fear into hate. A talkback radio host with " commonsense " answers, he likes to push buttons. His diatribes against political correctness, feminism,multiculturalism, immigration and bleeding hearts flood the airwaves and the scary part is that people listen.At home however, his influence isn't so great- his new wife Carmela is too narcissistic to listen much, his daughter Vivienne (by his first marriage ) is a manic depressive, his Croation father Marko has a secret that could destroy Ziggi's career, and his sister Connie is a psychologist with opinions and solutions a world away from Ziggi's. When the new turkish housekeeper , Zehra ( with a moral core diametrically opposed to Ziggi ), enters the fray, the simplistic contradictions of Ziggi's world views look set to implode in this satire from Australia's most popular playwright.
