"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. Created by Jeremy Goldstein with Henry Woolf Directed by Jen Heyes

Suzie Miller’s award-winning one-woman play, Prima Facie returns to Melbourne for a limited season.
The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
