About THE BIG SPAGHETTI
THE BIG SPAGHETTI is a beautiful, surreal, tragicomedy series written by Pepper, Adriane Daff and Tim Watts, directed by Pepper, produced by Susannah Day and executive produced by Lauren Elliott from Mad Kids.
The 5-part series tells the story of Gabby (Tim Watts) who seeks solace in Melissa’s (Adriane Daff) home to mend her broken heart and reinvent her life. But when Gabby’s fierce alter ego becomes the object of Melissa’s affections, their blissful playground breaks apart at the seams.

Pepper, Daff and Watts are also the writers and creators of THE IRRESISTIBLE, the Helpmann-nominated stage play that has just sold out a season at DARK MOFO 2019, which kicks off in Hobart next month.
Pepper is a recent recipient of Screenwest’s Feature Navigator program – a comprehensive, year-long filmmaker and project development initiative for Western Australian directors working toward a debut feature film.
Following ten years as one of Western Australia’s top theatre directors, THE BIG SPAGHETTI is one of Zoe’s first projects as a director for screen, alongside Lucy Durack’s screenwriting debut, LIFT, a 7-part web series which debuted on 10Peach on Valentine’s Day.
