Off the Record 2023 single work drama

'"If you’re honest you get locked out. People don’t like you. But what can you do when you know the truth?"

'Jenny Gosper is the host of Face to Face a tacky, tabloid-style tv current affairs show. She once had a stellar career as a journalist before suffering a spectacular fall from grace.

'Tony Trevelan is the founder and CEO of Embrace International, a high profile aid agency operating in Bangladesh, who is facing accusations of abusing female employees.

'Jenny and Tony go way back – and now she has him in the hot seat on her show.

'But the interview is a fizzer, and in the aftermath, as the hospitality drinks flow, secrets are revealed, and threats of exposure on both sides turn the situation toxic.

'When Jenny has a serious accident, the outcome unexpectedly presents her with a way to finally nail Tony.'

y separately published work icon Human Resources 2005 Hobart : Australian Script Centre , 2006 Z1237346 2005 single work drama 'A darkly humorous three part look at the psychology, graft and politics of the office work environment. In "Dave's Lunchtime Dos and Don'ts," Steven revels in his easy manipulation of a lonely, sexually frustrated, wealthy older man , until his plan goes horribly wrong. In "Brian Meets His Match" a pack of office workers all use the same internet dating service. Their obsessive rules of engagement are challenged by the arrival of the new boy,- plain old Brian. In "Fiona's Functions" we discover how an older and near-untrainable box office worker deals with the encroachment of technology and her seemingly pre-pubescent new boss.'
