My Name Is Rachel Corrie

Taken from the writings of Rachel Corrie

Edited by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner

In March 2003, young American activist Rachel Corrie lost her life when she placed herself between an Israeli army bulldozer and a Palestinian home.

Composed from her own diaries and e-mails by Alan Rickman and Katherine Viner, this eloquent, moving and deeply personal play follows Rachel Corrie’s journey from teenage suburban life into the middle of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A collision of idealism, anger and wit, Rachel’s words are as relevant now as they have ever been.

Writer Ian Kershaw (Coronation Street, Shameless, Cold Feet) directing Harriet Bibby (Coronation Street, Doctors, Brassic) in the role of Rachel. 

Twenty-one years on, this beautiful, raw, intensely moving and often very funny play, is as urgent and relevant as when it was first produced.
