My Name is Rachel Corrie

Information

“So much of this has happened before. We can look at that history and then choose which side we want to be on now.” - Rachel Corrie, June 4, 2002

23 years old and six thousand miles from home, Rachel Corrie stands between an armoured bulldozer and a family home.

From Olympia, Washington to the Gaza Strip, 'My Name is Rachel Corrie' captures the bold aspirations, blazing eloquence, and distinctive humor of a brave young writer. Edited by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner from Rachel’s personal journals and emails, this play honors the inherent activism within a life of courage, cut short.

Twenty years since its original production, 'My Name is Rachel Corrie' burns with more urgency now than ever before.
