About
Daisy Bates, iconic heroine who spent decades living with tribal aboriginals, fighting injustice. The show is based on her writings.
An acclaimed show, a rich imaginary and historical window into the Australian continent and its first peoples, that resonates with modern audiences and our current times.
With Robina Beard as Daisy Bates
Written and directed by Geoffrey Sykes
'Beard’s performance as Bates in Geoffrey Sykes’ one-woman play is so feather light she barely seems to be acting. She creates a character as soft as early morning light and just as luminous. The music of her lilting Irish accent effortlessly entwines with the poeticism of Sykes’s script.” Sydney Morning Herald
“A delight to watch on the stage — and her soft Irish accent recreates Bates’ words in all their lilting beauty.' Stage Whispers
“A riveting and entertaining play, and a warranted success for Beard and all concerned.” InDaily Adelaide
“Impeccable, an authentic voice,' ”one woman's lament for the vanishing tribes,' Melbourne Times.
Robina Beard has been working all her life in television, dance, drama, comedy, children’s theatre, and theatre restaurant, both as performer and director. Her most ‘famous’ persona was that of Madge the Palmolive Dishwashing Lady. In 2011, she was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for Services to the Theatre.
