My Name Is Rachel Corrie presented by Bella Shanley and La Boite Indie - 27 OCT - 14 NOV- Edited by Katharine Viner and Alan Rickman Directed by Shane Anthony

Rachel Corrie was an American college student and activist who travelled to Palestine as a part of peaceful demonstrations in the Gaza Strip. On March 16th, 2003 she was killed while trying to prevent an Israeli bulldozer from demolishing a house in a Palestinian residential area. The details of the events surrounding Corrie's death are disputed. The Israeli Defence Force claims it was an accident; others claim she was run over deliberately.

This production sees theatre director Shane Anthony assemble a talented creative team of local and interstate artists.

A celebration of one young woman's moral strength and belief. Powerful and controversial My Name Is Rachel Corrie promises a politically provocative night in the theatre.
