Face to Face

By David Williamson

25 February 2000 – 18 March 2000 Merlyn Theatre

Playbox Theatre Company,

New Writing Theatre

When a man is sacked from his labouring job he doesn't go quietly. His response leads to criminal charges being laid. He is offered the opportunity of a community justice conference in which he is brought face to face with those whose lives have been affected by his actions.

The first play in Williamson's Jack Manning Trilogy which focuses on community conferencing.
