Announcing the cast for David Williamson’s FACE TO FACE
Directed by Céline Oudin
“One of Williamson’s most important and innovative plays” John Shand
Written by Williamson especially for Ensemble Theatre, Face To Face is the first of his JACK MANNING TRILOGY. Fascinated by the idea of community conferencing, it offers an “exploration of conflict in the workplace and the humanity and compromise required to overcome it” (Daily Telegraph).
In this story of rivalry and alliances with secrets bubbling away just beneath the surface, we followed Glen, a young construction worker who rams into the back of his boss’s prized Mercedes in a fit of anger after being sacked. Instead of heading straight to court, he is given the opportunity to discuss his actions in a community conference. This character-driven social satire celebrates the strength of community over our rigid and often seemingly unjust court system.
“It offers an intriguing look into social conflict. Williamson… has the ability to tap into the zeitgeist” (Daily Review)
