Jerilderie Productions aims to bring to life Australian National Treasures, beginning with 'The Jerilderie Letter' by Ned Kelly; the middle part of a trilogy entitled 'Cook, Kelly and Mabo'. This trilogy will feature the Cook Journals, the Jerilderie Letter and the Mabo Judgement.

The Jerilderie Letter was written approximately a year before he was hung on 11 Nov.1880. This letter has been described as Ned Kelly’s ‘manifesto’. Passionately articulating his pleas of innocence and his desire for justice for his family and other poor Irish Catholics, protesting their treatment by the police, banks and English settlers.

In 2007 UNICEF, the United Nations cultural foundation, added The Story of the Kelly Gang,the first feature film made in Melbourne in 1906 to its list of significant global documents; joining only two other artefacts from Australia - the Journals of Captain Cook and the Mabo Judgement. It can be said that if you know about Cook, Kelly and Mabo, you will have the framework to understand main cultural principles from Australia and Australia's place in the world.

Devised and performed by Peter Finlay, a Melbourne theatre veteran, founding member of TheatreWorks and author. Peter also has film and TV credits including 'Dying Breed' and 'City Homicide'. He has been nominated for two Green Room Awards in the category 'Best Actor in a Fringe Production', and is best known as the archetypal Aussie gunner
'Bluey' in the Australian mini-series, 'ANZACS'.
