Blackrock (play) Blackrock is a play by Australian playwright Nick Enright that was first performed in 1995. It was adapted from a 1992 play by Enright, entitled A Property of the Clan, which was inspired by the murder of Leigh Leigh in Stockton, Australia in 1989. The plays were both well received critically, though they did attract criticism from both Leigh's family and the media due to the fictionalisation of an actual murder. Despite repeated statements from Enright that the plays were a work of fiction, they have both often been considered by viewers to be a factual account. "A Property of the Clan" was shortlisted for a New South Wales Premier's Literary Award in 1993, and "Blackrock" won the AWGIE Award for Best Play in 1996. "Blackrock" was developed into a feature film of the same name in 1997.
