My Name is Rachel Corrie opens today

London: My Name is Rachel Corrie opens today at the Playhouse Theatre following two sold out runs at the Royal Court in 2005.

The production is based on the writings of Rachel Corrie, the 23 year old American woman who was killed on March 16, 2003 by an Israeli Army bulldozer while she was protesting the demolition of Palestinian homes. The circumstances surrounding her death have been disputed. The International Solidarity Movement, of which Corrie was apart, claimed that she was run over on purpose, but The Israeli Defence Forces have said it was an accident and that she was killed by falling debris.Corrie left behind a series of diaries and emails that have been edited together by Katherine Viner and Alan Rickman, who also directs the work. Hildegard Bechtler serves as designer.Megan Dodds reprises her role as Corrie in this West End production.The show is currently booking through May 7th.The work was set to make its American debut with the New York Theatre Workshop, but that run was postponed. As of today the debut looks to take place in March 2007 at Seattle's Repertory Theater.For My Name is Rachel Corrie tickets visit our database here.
