"The Age" is reporting, in the middle of a piece about the 2008 Perth International Arts Festival (PIAF), that a stage production of Tim Winton's The Turning is being developed. And "The West Australian" has this to say:
PIAF also has commissioned a major independent WA stage adaptation of Tim Winton's best-selling book The Turning as its first project of its new Tales of the West series. "There was an intention to try to invest this year in bringing a West Australian voice into the program," [new artistic director Shelagh] Magadza said.
