Theatre Production
In 2011 Melbourne Theatre Company and Western Australia's Black Swan State Theatre Company commissioned Australian playwright Aidan Fennessy to write a new work based around the death of The Bailbo Five. Entitle 'National Interest' the work focuses on the family of slain journalist Tony Stewart. The play is set to debut in Perth in March of 2012 before touring east for the Melbourne season of the show in June. Coinciding with this new production on May 20 East Timor's President Jose Ramos Horta invited Paul Stewart into the Presidential Palace in Dili and presented him with a medal of merit for his brother Tony to give to his mother June Stewart for services to East Timor's independence struggle.

Famous quotes containing the words theatre and/or production:
“The theatre is the best way of showing the gap between what is said and what is seen to be done, and that is why, ragged and gap-toothed as it is, it has still a far healthier potential than some poorer, abandoned arts.”
—David Hare (b. 1947)
“[T]he asphaltum contains an exactly requisite amount of sulphides for production of rubber tires. This brown material also contains “ichthyol,” a medicinal preparation used externally, in Webster’s clarifying phrase, “as an alterant and discutient.””
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
