Description

March 2003. The Gaza Strip. 23-year old Rachel Corrie stands between an Israeli armoured bulldozer and a Palestinian home. The bulldozer drives on. 


Taken from Rachel Corrie’s own journals, letters and emails, edited by Alan Rickman and Katherine Viner, this one-woman show tells an impassioned, moving, true story of what drove a young activist to leave her comfortable American life and embark on a journey that would end with her sudden death defending the rights of people a world away.

Amidst the ongoing destructive offensive in Gaza in 2024, My Name is Rachel Corrie is both a poignant tribute and a strident call to action. 

"If any of us had our lives and welfare completely strangled and lived with children in a shrinking place, where we knew that soldiers and tanks and bulldozers could come for us at any moment, do you not think most people would defend themselves as best they could?"

Directed by Philip Leone-Ganado and starring Sandie von Brockdorff as Rachel Corrie.

A portion of all proceeds will be donated to organisations providing vital humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza.
