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:
“Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans—which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
