The moving account of the life and early death of a young female activist, adapted from her own writings.
Best New Play, 2006 Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Awards
Why did a 23-year old woman leave her comfortable American life to stand between an Israeli army bulldozer and a Palestinian home in the Gaza strip? Compiled from her letters, diaries and emails by Alan Rickman and Guardian journalist Katharine Viner, My Name is Rachel Corrie recounts her short life and sudden death in her own words.
'Funny, passionate, bristling with idealism and luminously intelligent, Corrie emerges as a bona fide hero for this brutalised world of ours' – Time Out
'A deeply moving personal testimony… Theatre can't change the world. But what it can do, when it's as good as this, is to send us out enriched by other people's passionate concern' – Guardian
'Deeply moving' – Independent
'Extraordinary power' – Time Out

    What is left for people? Tell me if you can think of anything. I can't.
    So when someone says that any act of Palestinian violence justifies Israel's actions

    I also question that logic on the basis of common sense.
    If any of us had our lives and welfare completely strangled and lived with children in a shrinking place where we knew that soldiers and tanks and bulldozers could come for us at any moment, with no means of economic survival and our houses demolished; if they came and destroyed all the greenhouses that we'd been cultivating for the last however long do you not think, in a similar situation, most people would defend themselves as best they could?

    We are all born and someday we'll all die. Most likely to some degree alone.
    What if our aloneness isn't a tragedy? What if our aloneness is what allows us to speak the truth without being afraid? What if our aloneness is what allows us to adventure – to experience the world as a dynamic presence – as a changeable, interactive thing?
    If I lived in Bosnia or Rwanda or who knows where else, needless death wouldn't be a distant symbol to me, it wouldn't be a metaphor, it would be a reality.
    And I have no right to this metaphor. But I use it to console myself. To give a fraction of meaning to something enormous and needless.
    This realization. This realization that I will live my life in this world where I have privileges.
    I can't cool boiling waters in Russia. I can't be Picasso. I can't be Jesus. I can't save the planet single-handedly.
    I can wash dishes.

    Arriving in Jerusalem.
