My Name is Rachel Corrie to play during Galway Arts Festival

category galway | arts and media | other press author Friday June 09, 2006 22:37author by Green Ink Report this post to the editors

A play based on the diaries of peace activist Rachel Corrie, who was killed in 2003 in Rafah while working for the International Solidarity Movement, will be performed in the Black Box, Galway as part of the 2006 Galway Arts Festival.

Rachel was killed when an Israeli Army D9 bulldozer ran her over as she attempted to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home. The play, directed by Alan Rickman, is a monologue based on Rachel's own writings and her experience of the conditions that mark the everyday existence of Palestinians. This play was banned by the New York Theatre Workshop earlier this year just a month before the play was set to transfer from London, where it had played to sold out houses.
The Galway run of My Name is Rachel Corrie is from Monday 24- Sunday 30 July in the Black Box Theatre.

Hopefully, this time, it will wake peoples minds up to what the Israeli empire is doing in Palestine.

There was a short article on page two of Daily Ireland yesterday I think.

It's not quite accurate to say the play was "banned" in New York. What seems to have happened is that the management of the theatre thought it was better to keep its donors happy than to stage a bit of self-congratulatory agitprop. Sound commercial reasoning in a place where theatres depend on audiences - not arts councils - to keep them afloat. Let's just say New Yorkers are bit more sceptical of Rachel Corrie's status as heroic martyr than your average chronically naive London luvvie.

"My Name is Rachel Corrie" is running at the Galway Arts Festival this week. It is a very moving powerful play and puts into human context what we read in the news pages about what has been going on for many years in Palestine. More is the pity that there are not many more Americans with the guts, humanity and moral courage to question their government on their un-critical support for the nazi type actions of the Israel authorities.
