Stunning...Theatre can¹t 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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description


"A powerful, thought-provoking and deeply moving piece of theatre."-Daily Telegraph

"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

I have been in Palestine for two weeks and one hour now, and I still have very few words to describe what I see. I don't know if many of the children here have ever existed without tank-shell holes in their walls. You just can't imagine it unless you see it. And even then your experience is not at all the reality . . . [due to] the fact that I have money to buy water when the army destroys wells, and of course, the fact that I have the option of leaving. I am allowed to see the ocean.-Rachel Corrie

On March 16, 2003, Rachel Corrie, a twenty-three-year-old American, was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in the Gaza Strip as she was trying to prevent the demolition of the Palestinian homes. My Name is Rachel Corrie is a one-woman play composed from Rachel's own journals, letters, and e-mails-creating a portrait of a messy, skinny, articulate, Salvador Dalí-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." The piece premiered at London's Royal Court Theatre, with an award-winning, sold-out run, before its transfer to the West End.

5.0 out of 5 stars we must not let the light go out, May 3, 2006
This tiny 52 page book is one of the most important pieces that I have read in my life. Rachel Corrie's writing, backed up by her work as a 5th grader and as an adult, is humbling. Alan Rickman's editing and placement is briliant.

This book should be on every book club's list and on every thearter company's stage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, February 5, 2007
By Robin N. McMahon (Wheeling, WV USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I think that this book has the ability to capture a person's attention on an emotional level as well as a political one. Rachel Corrie was a very profound writer, even as a teenager. In this book you get to experience her life the way that she did. She was a very special person and you can see that as you read this book. It was a tragedy the way she died, and I think that this book kind of does her memory some justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, May 3, 2006
By Martin E. Zimmann (Dundee, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book. This story. This life. This world-- it's all in there. It should be part of social science curriculum in high schools and colleges. Rachel was a person of conviction. Her life and witness inspire us all.
