This internationally acclaimed performance event - already performed over 40 times in six countries, and featuring more than 400 participants, many of whom have never been on stage before - is coming to Rotherham (24 & 25 February), Huddersfield (19 March) and South Norwood in London (March 27).

From 11th to 13th March, Riverside Theatres will present the Sydney premiere of Jeremy Goldstein’s world-renowned Truth to Power Café, a unique theatrical experience reflecting on loss, hope and resistance. 

In October Truth to Power Café opens its No Borders World Tour 2020/21 with live and streamed events in three countries, offering people of all ages, experiences and backgrounds the chance to speak their truth to power before a global audience.

Following its acclaimed national tour, the acclaimed Truth To Power Café comes to London this autumn as part of The Bloomsbury Festival. With more dates added the new leg of the tour will play at Conway Hall on October 20th as well as hitting more cities across the country.

Truth to Power Cafe is a new international performance event combining memoir, poetry, music, image, and live and spontaneous testimony from local participants (or heroes, as I prefer to call them), in response to the question: 'Who has power over you and what do you want to say to them?'.

This year, Goldstein will embark on a national tour posing this question across the land, in his acclaimed theatre show Truth to Power Cafe.

Harold Pinter was born in Hackney, in London's East End, in October of 1930. An only child, he was born to Jewish parents of very moderate means; his father, a tailor, and his mother, a homemaker, were first-generation descendants of Eastern European immigrants. Like many of his contemporaries, Pinter's childhood was shaped by the onslaught of World War II; at the age of nine, he was evacuated from London through Operation Pied Piper and resettled in a town in Cornwall. The sense of isolation he felt in Cornwall would come to influence his work, as would the changed London to which he returned during the Blitz, where he was witness to, as his 2008 Guardianobituary put it, 'the dramatic nature of wartime life - the palpable fear, the sexual desperation, the genuine sense that everything could end tomorrow.'
