Mr Bailey’s Minder
June 29, 2019 @ 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm
$25
by Deborah Oswald and directed by Martin Gibbs.
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 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 better life.
