- Summary
- Set in the New South Wales penal colony in the 1820s, 'Billy' focuses on seven middle-class English men and women - their fears, hopes and uncertainties in the new land they find themselves in. At the centre of the drama is Billy, a deaf-mute Aboriginal servant. The object of fear, derision and also affection, it is Billy who receives the secrets of his masters.
