Woven together to give a unique perspective of a way of life we do not understand. The conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis. The people caught in a political conflict. It's scary. It's beautiful. It's controversial. Forget about the media. Forget about the publicity. Forget about what other people think. Come and see it for yourself...

My Name is Rachel Corrie is a play drawn from Rachel’s writings and edited by British actor Alan Rickman and Guardian editor Katharine Viner. Directed by Rickman, My Name is Rachel Corrie enjoyed great success in London when it opened at the Royal Court Theatre in April 2005 and when it returned for an encore engagement in October 2005. In the spring of 2006, after the New York Theater Workshop halted production amidst controversy, the play moved to London’s West End for nine weeks at the Playhouse Theatre and also reached prominent summer theater festivals in Galway and Edinburgh. In addition to the Best Actress award, the play received the 2006 London Theatregoers’ Choice Award for Best Play and Best Director and garnered nominations for a Time Out Award for Best Actress, a South Bank Show Award for Best Production, and an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement. London actress Josephine Taylor was nominated for “Best Solo Show” at the Edinburgh Fringe, a sixty year old arts festival and the world’s largest. Visit: Official website
