Description Leo Bailey is Australia's greatest living artist. He lives in a fabulous hovel,
built into a cliff over-looking Sydney Harbour. Mr. Bailey is incapacitated, his brain burned-out by booze. His resentful daughter has been through a
succession of minders. But along comes Therese - down to her last job and determined to make a go of it.

In this tough and funny play, the culture vultures circle and the house disintegrates along with the artist?s body as discoveries are made about the beauty of letting go.
