My Name is Rachel Corrie
Taken from the writings of Rachel Corrie
Edited by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner
Directed by Braden Abraham
March 15 – April 22, 2007
Extended through May 6, 2007
Kaminski achieves such moments of transcendence
that she is literally transformed; she channels Corrie's
emotions in such a way that she breaks down all artifice,
reaching directly into the soul of the material.
— Seattle Weekly
Polemical considerations aside, "My Name
Is Rachel Corrie" is indisputably an extraordinary
piece of dramatic art. — Seattle P-I
“To some degree we are all kids curious
about other kids. Egyptian kids shouting at strange women wandering
into the path of tanks. Palestinian kids shot from the tanks
when they peek out from behind walls to see what’s going
on. International kids standing in front of tanks with banners.
Israeli kids in the tanks anonymously — occasionally shouting
and also occasionally waving — many forced to be here,
many just aggressive — shooting into the houses as we
wander away.” — Rachel Corrie
