My Name is Rachel Corrie

‘What if our aloneness isn’t a tragedy? What if our aloneness is what allows us to speak the truth without being afraid?’ From Jewish actor Sascha Shinder, alongside a predominately Jewish creative team led by producer Gabriel Speechly, and award-winning Scottish theatre director Susan Worsfold, comes a new staging of My Name is Rachel Corrie - an urgent and impassioned text for our time, originally compiled and edited by Alan Rickman and Katherine Viner. Bringing to life the true story of courageous 23 year old activist Rachel Corrie - who left her comfortable life in the American suburbs in 2003 to stand between an Israeli bulldozer and a Palestinian home at threat of being destroyed, the script is based on Corrie’s own words.
