From Adelaide to Zagreb and now at Theatre Works for its Melbourne premiere as part of Midsumma, 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.
Created, written and performed by Jeremy Goldstein with Henry Woolf, Directed by Jen Heyes
