 Daisy in the Dreamtime: review on TheaterMania.com
Daisy Bates, an Irishwoman of the late Victorian era, became widely known for her written record of life among Australian Aborigines in the 1920s and 30s, even though she lacked an anthropology degree.
Daisy's relationship with Billy is forthright, disarming, and in some respects wistful, but her spiritual union with him might have been more personalized.
Additionally, the performance of the lovely Molly Powell as Daisy, while strong and multifaceted, is hampered by an accent that wavers and by the actress's unwillingness to break through the character's emotional restraint in scenes that call for such an approach.

Daisy's uncompromising resolve is depicted in both her steadfast loyalty to a local tribesman, ironically named King Billy (Anthony J. Haney), and her steely opposition to a missionary (Suanne Spoke) who is bent on converting the Aborigines to more socially respectable behavior.
Daisy faced a hard lesson in cultural arrogance, to be sure, but we can take solace in the fact that the near extinction of a noble indigenous population is a travesty that could only occur on some other remote continent.
Daisy Bates was known as Kabbarli (grandmother) to "her" people, but she preferred to translate that tribal name as "great white queen of the Never Never." It was a small indication of the condescension she felt for the people, even while admiring their simplicity.
