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:
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
