Mr BAILEY'S
MINDER
Written by Debra
Oswald and Directed by Brenda Logan.
The story:
Leo Bailey is one of Australia's greatest living artists,
whose genius battles to survive the effects of alcohol,
cynicism and self-loathing.
Only one of his many children, his daughter
Margo, is prepared to help, but she does so at arm's length.
Margo finds a willing but surly live-in minder, Therese, who
is fresh out of prison and desperate for a home. Then, along
comes Karl, a handyman who has the job of removing a valuable
mural but who keeps returning with offers of practical
friendship.
A funny and deeply moving play about
friendship, ego, art and the secret longing for a bettre life.
The setting:
The play is set in Leo Bailey's house built on the side of a
cliff overlooking the water and takes place over a period of
approximately six months.
