The Jack Manning Trilogy: Face to Face/A Conversation/Charitable Intent

Here Australia's most popular playwright explores community conferencing - a process bringing together the victims and perpetrators of a crime to attempt some kind of reconciliation. When Sam comes Face to Face with the employee who rammed his Mercedes, he must acknowledge responsibility for a series of incidents which helped provoke the crime. In A Conversation, the family of a rapist and murderer are confronted by the family of his victim. Charitable Intent focuses on the pressures and contradictions that erupt as workplace values change.
