Speak Truth to Power: Voices From Beyond the Dark

Alison Louder, actor and activist, invites you to a special night of human rights theatre.

Dear friends,

The ongoing struggle for global equality is too often forgotten in our comfortable Montreal. Please come support art made in the name of positive change! "Speak Truth To Power: Voices From Beyond the Dark" exposes the true stories of fifty prominent activists, spokespersons and defenders of human rights from around the globe.
While these impassioned individuals bravely recount the details of their involvement in the worldwide struggle for justice and truth, they are relentlessly confronted by The Man, an omnipresent figure of fear, apathy and political corruption, who threatens to destroy their spirits. At times saddening, at times funny, Speak Truth To Power is a triumphant look at what amazing things can be accomplished with enough courage, stubbornness, and hope.

Based on the book "Speak Truth to Power: Human rights defenders who are changing our world" by Kerry Kennedy, and adapted for the stage by award-winning playwright Ariel Dorfman, the play seamlessly weaves original script with actual quotes from the book into a tapestry of voices.

Featuring:
Daniel Esteban, Nina Marie Fillis, Jessica B. Hill, Heather Huff, Patricia Manessy, Ian McRoberts, Emily Quaile, Saro Saroyan, Jordan Van Dyck and Heidi Waters
