The tragic, yet ultimately inspiring story of Rachel Corrie made its way from Olympia to around the world in a matter of days back in 2003, when The Evergreen State College student made her way to the Gaza Strip to protest the destruction of homes of Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli government. She was killed by an Israeli bulldozer when she stood between the heavy machinery and the house only to be crushed to death as the bulldozer went about its business.
Her death sparked not only international attention and outrage but highlighted the struggle of the Palestinian people. Now her story is coming home. The Evergreen State College is set to present the Seattle Repertory Company’s production of "My Name is Rachel Corrie" in the college’s Experimental Theater, April 27 and 28 at 8 p.m. and April 28 and 29 at 2 p.m. as part of the Evergreen Expressions Visiting Artist program.
The play, written largely from Corrie’s own journals and letters, was edited for the stage by director Alan Rickman, best known for his roles in the Harry Potter series of films and New York stage productions of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" and "Private Lives," and Katharine Viner, features editor of The Guardian newspaper in London. The production opened at London ’s Royal Court Theater to critical acclaim in 2005.
The Seattle production will play in the Emerald City until April 22 when it will then move to Olympia. If you can't want into the South Sound run, visit their Web site for play times.
Tickets are $30 or $20 for seniors and atudents. They will go on sale at noon on April 2 at Rainy Day Records, The Evergreen College bookstore, online at BuyOlympia.com or by placing a phone order at 360.876.6833. â€" Steve Dunkelberger
