Palestine House Preview Performance: My Name is Rachel Corrie

Palestine House Preview Performance: My Name is Rachel Corrie

“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

At 23 years old and over six thousand miles from home, Rachel Corrie stood between an armored bulldozer and a Palestinian family's home.

From Olympia, Washington, to the Gaza Strip, My Name Is Rachel Corrie captures the fierce conviction, piercing eloquence, and dry humor of a courageous young writer. Edited by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner from Rachel’s personal journals and emails, this powerful play honors a life of activism and idealism, cut tragically short.

Twenty years after its original production, My Name Is Rachel Corrie resonates with even greater urgency.

A post-show talkback with special guests will follow the performance.
