My Name is Rachel Corrie is the powerful story of one person's passionate journey in the global struggle for sense and justice.
Performed to acclaim throughout the world, this production was the hit of the 2010 Adelaide Fringe Festival and stars 2009 Adelaide Fringe Award Winner (Best Theatre Performer) Hannah Norris as 23-year-old Rachel Corrie, a college student and human rights activist from Olympia, Washington who was crushed to death on 16 March 2003 by a bulldozer on the Gaza strip, as she protested against the destruction of Palestinian homes.
