Protesting the destruction of Palestinian homes, 23-year-old Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli Defense Forces bulldozer in the Gaza strip. Based on Rachel Corrie’s diary, actor Alan Rickman and journalist Katharine Viner created this play in which Rachel Corrie sought to discover the human impact of her own country's foreign policies on people thousands of miles away.

“Adrienne Wong, the sole actor, delivers a smart and subtle portrait: youthful, thoughtful, romantic. Feelings of intimacy, humility, and responsibility are all heightened by director Sarah Garton Stanley’s decision to stage this show in the round.”
