An Australian theatre group is putting Julian Assange and the Wikileaks saga on stage.
'Stainless Steel Rat', which is playing at Sydney's Seymour Centre, is an artistic interpretation about the notorious Wikileaks founder.
"Well, the question is, is Julian Assange a 'bogan with a modem' or 'the most revolutionary Australian of our time'?", said the play's Director, Wayne Harrison.

"whether you want to buy into his flaws or not, that is in that Ned Kelly vein of shoving it up authority."
The play centres around the question, "Who is Julian Assange?" and explores Assange's background, the impact Wikileaks had in the world and the secrecy of governments.
The writers and actors of the play are also keeping their ears alert about the real Assange.
Assange has hired two of the UK's most high- profile lawyers to fight his appeal against extradition to Sweden on sexual misconduct allegations.
The case resumes next week in London's High Court.
According to writer, Ron Elisha, Assange's soliciters asked for a copy of the play which was declined.
The play is just another medium that has been inspired by the Wikileaks founder.
His story has been re-told in paintings and literature, including the well publicised book "The Most Dangerous Man in the World" by Andrew Fowler.
There are rumours the American cable network, HBO will produce a television movie about Assange.
