My Name is Rachel Corrie Talkback on Israel/Palestine

Daniel Levy (Senior Fellow & Director of Prospects For Peace Initiative at The Century Foundation), Afif Safieh (Head of the PLO Mission to the U.S.) and My Name is Rachel Corrie co-editor Alan Rickman, will discuss the current political realities of the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict for the November 21st Tuesday Talkback. Moderated by Jamil Dakwar (Senior Human Rights Attorney for the ACLU) this panel discussion will occur following the 8pm performance of My Name is Rachel Corrie as part of its ongoing series.

My Name is Rachel Corrie was originally produced at London's Royal Court Theatre, where it opened in April 2005 and returned for an encore engagement in October 2005.  In Spring 2006, it played for nine weeks at the Playhouse Theatre in London's West End.  Compiled from writings left behind in the diaries, letters and e-mails of American activist Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old protester who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza in 2003, My Name is Rachel Corrie chronicles the human, social and political evolution in the life and controversial death of a young woman.
