Excerpt from Review by Jill Martin in Townsville Bulletin Feb. 27 2000  Opening Wednesday and with a final performance tonight the play is a powerful production which stirs and shames the deepest emotions.  This play embodies contemporary Australian drama, its crude, sometimes foul and always cheeky.  Against the stark set, the raw emotions of all the characters create an atmosphere thick with intrigue and deception.  Beresford has perfectly recreated the teenagte world alien to those outside by even just a few years.  In his promotions of the work Beresford said parents and children should come together and learn a little of each other’s worlds.  He was right. Quite apart from being a stirring piece of drama, Blackrock is an educational tour-de-force.  Wednesday night sold out, book tonight’s tickets now.
