Face to Face (play)

Face to Face (play)

"Face to Face" is a 2000 play by Australian playwright David Williamson. It is part of the "Jack Manning Trilogy" ("Face To Face" (2000), "A Conversation" (2001), "Charitable Intent" (2001)) which take as their format community conferencing, a new form of restorative justice which Wiliamson became interested in the late 1990s and early 2000s.When Glen, a young construction worker, rams into the back of his boss’s Mercedes in a fit of anger at being sacked, he is given the opportunity to discuss his actions in a community conference, rather than going straight to court.

Community conferencing - an alternative method of justice recently introduced to Australia - is explored by Williamson in this engaging and heartfelt play which celebrates the strength of community over our rigid and often seemingly unfair court system.
