May 12 – June 10, 2023

‘Looking after a scrungy old drunk is dead-set the best job I’m gonna get.’

 

Abusive, cantankerous and burned out by booze, Leo Bailey is one of Australia’s national treasures. A gifted painter and chronic alcoholic, he can no longer take care of himself. His resentful daughter has been through a succession of minders, until Therese comes along, fresh out of jail and determined to make a go of her limited options.
