ISM London saw and loved this deeply affecting play when was on in London. Go and check it out if you are in Glasgow. Runs from 2 March until 20 March 2010.
The Citizens Company presents a one-woman play about ISM activist Rachel Corrie, a twenty-three-year-old American, who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in the Gaza Strip in 2003, as she was trying to prevent the demolition of Palestinian homes.
Composed from Rachel’s own journals, letters, and emails, My Name is Rachel Corrie creates a portrait of a messy, skinny, articulate, Salvador Dali-loving chain-smoker (with a passion for the music of Pat Benatar), who left home and school in Olympia, Washington, “to support Palestinian non-violent resistance to Israel’s military occupation.”
