Blackrock: Original Screenplay

Rating:
Summary: Blackrock
Review: Blackrock was inspired by the rape and murder of 14-year old Leigh Leigh near Newcastle, Australia, back in 1989, and as such the play has always been controversial for many different reasons. The story centres upon Jared (Laurence Breuls), the 17-year old surfer who, during a beachside party, witnessed a rape (not Toby, played by the now famous Heath Ledger, who was the lead rapist) and did nothing about it. As the crime drew the suspicion of a nation, Jared was forced to choose between telling the truth and 'mateship' with the rapists and especially the killer, Ricko (Simon Lyndon).
The characters are well portrayed in the screenplay, and the movie itself is even more powerful and gripping. A warning: the movie has a rape scene which you will find very disturbing...

Review: This book and play are both amazing pieces of work. I read the play twice in one night! I haven't seen the movie yet - but i will. All the emotions in this play is incredible! The love, hate, jealousy, and even carelessness are really brought out in this play. I really love it and look forward to acting in it as a main caharacter in 6 weeks.
