About

Viewing modern day law and its associated practices through a theatrical and historical lens, The Plaintiff’s Third Face suggests that to exist in the legal system, a series of ‘faces’, disguises or masks must be worn. The presentation looks at how the law uses ‘masking’ to construct an elaborate fictional universe, populated by characters who are written into existence during legal disputes. Plaintiffs, defendants, debtors, creditors, judges and legislators all act their parts in both the real and imagined processes of law.
