Face to Face by David Williamson
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. CHARACTERS: JACK MANNING, community conference convenor GLEN TREGASKIS, mid 20s MAUREEN TREGASKIS, EARLY 40S, Glen's mother BARRY MCLEAN, mid-20s, Glen's friend GREG BALDONI, early 50s, owner and manager of Baldoni Exhibition Constructions RICHARD HALLIGAN, 40s, foreman at Baldoni's LUKA MITROVIC, early 30s, Baldoni's employee JULIE ROSSITER, Greg's personal assistant at Baldoni's THERESE MARTIN, Greg's accountant
