Rochester Fringe Festival – My Name is Rachel Corrie

Sept 21 at 12:00pm and Sept 22 at 8:00pm: MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE is the story of an American peace activist who traveled to Gaza during the Second Intifada, where she worked to protect civilian homes from being demolished by Israel. On March 16th, 2003 – less than two months after arriving – Rachel was crushed to death by an Israeli Defense Forces bulldozer. All the words of the play are taken from Rachel’s own writings, and were compiled by actor Alan Rickman and journalist Katherine Viner. The Witness Palestine Film Series helped bring this event to Rochester. More here.
