My Name is Rachel Corrie and Pieces

New Repertory Theatre will present two solo shows that present differing viewpoints on the Middle East conflict. Billed under the collective title, Their Voices Will Be Heard, the series includes My Name is Rachel Corrie and Pieces, to run in rotating repertory.

My Name Is Rachel Corrie, to be directed by David R. Gammons, will feature Stacy Fischer in the title role. The solo play, edited by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner, is comprised entirely of the writings of the 23-year-old American activist who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer while defending a Palestinian home in 2003.

Pieces will be directed by Suzana Berger and will feature the author, Zohar Tirosh. Written when she was 23, Zohar documents her two years in the Israeli army. This show replaces the previously announced To Pay the Price, about Jonathan ‘Yoni’ Netanyahu, which will no longer be presented.
