Truth to Power Café

"Revolutionary theatre at its best and most direct" - The Guardian

“A priceless repository of living social history wit wisdom and defiance.”★★★★★ - Attitude Magazine UK 

“A stunning work of theatrical activism.”★★★★★ - The Queer Review New York 

From Adelaide to Zagreb and now at Theatre Works for its Melbourne premiere Jeremy Goldstein’s Truth to Power Café is a profound theatrical reflection on loss hope and resistance. 

This award-winning international performance event is told through memoir image film poetry music and compassionate truth-telling in response to the question: ‘who has power over you and what do you want to say to them?’ 

Personal professional political - speaking truth to power is a non-violent means of conflict resolution the origins of which lie in the anti-war movement. Is it to your parents a sibling politician lover landlord neighbour banker boss or simply your best friend? It’s time to tell them the truth before it’s too late. 

Truth to Power Café is inspired by the political and philosophical beliefs of Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter and his inner Jewish circle “The Hackney Gang” who included Jeremy’s late father Mick Goldstein and poet/actor Henry Woolf.
