To mark 30 years since The Castle first endeared itself to audiences, the classic Australian film is being launched as a stage production.

The film is responsible for oft-quoted lines such as "How's the serenity?" and "It's the vibe" - and it can only be hoped that the stage version will have the vibe of the much-loved feature.
