“A highly original mix of personal memoir, pungent testimony and political resistance.
Heartfelt, passionate and lovably odd.”
MICHAEL BILLINGTON

“A stunning work of theatrical activism that has the potential to move and motivate.”
THE QUEER REVIEW NEW YORK

Jeremy Goldstein is an award-winning theatre maker, producer, and HIV+ activist.  He is founder and director of London Artists Projects, soon to celebrate its 25th anniversary, and creator of two long term interconnecting socially engaged theatre projects Truth to Power Café and This Is Who I Am.

Theatre and community activism is central to his practice, as is creating access and experiences of the arts with and for
underrepresented voices from within marginalised communities.

Finding voice is of particular importance to Jeremy, whose struggle to overcome the power of his father and HIV and AIDS,
is woven into each performance via memoir, poetry, image, film, and music. He believes passionately in the creation
of a cathartic and meaningful space for people to speak their truth and claim agency
over themselves in the eyes of those who matter to them.

Jeremy’s current body of work is inspired by the political and philosophical beliefs of Nobel Prize winning playwright Harold Pinter
and his inner circle – The Hackney Gang who included Jeremy’s late father Mick Goldstein and poet/actor Henry Woolf
with whom he co-created the work. For sixty years The Hackney Gang maintained their belief in speaking truth to power,
and remained firmly on the side of the occupied, the disempowered and their allies. 
It is these people Jeremy invites to voice untold stories of loss, hope and resistance
in performances which give poignant political expression to the lives of community participants
whose contribution to the social fabric have shaped the world as we know it.

Internationally Jeremy’s work has toured to Lincoln Center New York (USA) National Theatre of Scotland, Royal Exchange Theatre Manchester,
Soho Theatre and Conway Hall London (UK), Chutzpah! Festival (Canada), Singapore Repertory Theatre and National Libraries Singapore (Singapore),
Adelaide Festival Centre, Brisbane Powerhouse and Riverside Theatres Parramatta (Australia) Queer Zagreb (Croatia),
Leeuwarden European Capital of Culture (The Netherlands).

His most ambitious project to date is currently showing in Johannesburg. Presented by British High Commission Pretoria
and Windybrow Arts Centre Johannesburg at the world-famous home of protest theatre, The Market Theatre,
This Is Who I Am Johannesburg is a UKwithSA Cultural Exchange as part of the G20 Cultural Ministers meeting.

Jeremy’s projects have won numerous theatre awards including BBC Audio Drama (2009), London Evening Standard (2010), London Cabaret (2012),
H.Club/Time Out Performing Arts (2012) which named him among the 100 most important people in British Culture, Scotsman Fringe First (2009 and 2015),
Adelaide Fringe (2016 and 2024), and the London OnComm OffWestEnd Theatre Award for Innovation (Finalist 2021).
