Mr Bailey’s Minder Ballarat National Theatre • 7th July Gala Night • 8th July Sunday Matinee • 11th – 13th July Wednesday to Friday 8 pm • 14th July Saturday Matinee The play centres around Leo Bailey, one of Australia’s greatest living artists, whose genius battles to survive the effects of alcohol, cynicism and self-loathing, can no longer take care of himself. His resentful daughter has been through a succession of minders, until Therese comes along, fresh out of prison and determined to make a go of her limited options. Mr Bailey’s Minder is a tough, funny and big-hearted play. It’s about shame and judgment, about who deserves to be loved and forgiven. It looks at how people exploit each other and where they find the beauty; and the qualities of transcendence, letting go and forgiveness. “Like her character Leo Bailey, playwright Debra Oswald reveals the luminous inner beauty of ordinary men and women emotionally scarred by life.” - Mark Hopkins, Sydney Morning Herald Mr Bailey’s Minder by Debra Oswald (2005) won the Griffin award for best new Australian play and broke box office records during its 2006 national tour.
