Tusitala is a 1986 three-part mini series for television based on the last years in the life of Robert Louis Stevenson, when he left Great Britain for Sydney and west Samoa.[1][2]
In the Samoan language Tusitala means writer of stories and it is there that Robert Louis Stevenson spent his last four years. He was buried there at Mount Vaea.[3]
There had been plans to film this in the 1960s by Cinesound Productions.[4]
In 1983 producer Ray Alchin announced Ted Roberts would be the writer. The ABC deliberately aimed at an international co production. "We're branching out with an international figure," said Alchin.[5]
The budget was $5 million.[6]
Filming started June 1985 by which stage the writer had become Peter Yeldham.[7] It was the only production Don Sharp ever directed in his native Australia.[8]
