Richard Derrington is a 28 year old corporate lawyer in Brisbane struggling to cope after his girlfriend, Anna, has left him.
He lives on Zig Zag Street in the suburb of Red Hill, Brisbane, Queensland in his grandmother's former home. The play follows his life over a six-week period as he continues to "mess things up", before finding new purpose and new love. The play features a number of Brisbane landmarks, including Broadway On the Mall, Park Road in Milton as well as the eponymous Zig Zag Street. It references British band The Smiths. Its reference to Tim Tam biscuits and other Queensland icons has made it a cultural favourite.

Mikayla Hosking’s sensitive direction, particularly in Act Two, allows us to sit in its pauses of real life.
