Play: The Words of Rachel Corrie
The Northampton Committee to End the War in Iraq is bringing "The Words of Rachel Corrie" to the Valley as part of the 8th anniversary commemoration of the anti-war group.
The play, produced and directed by Deborah Peabody of Provincetown, was first performed this past summer and Fall at the Provincetown Fringe Theater where Peabody directs. Marissa Lena O'Connor, Peabody's daughter, plays Rachel Corrie. The play was composed from emails from Rachel Corrie -- an American Peace activist who was killed in 2003 in Gaza, Palestine, by an American Caterpillar D9 bulldozer while she was trying to block the Israeli Army bulldozer from destroying Palestinian homes.
Co-sponsored by the Northampton Committee to Stop the War in Iraq and The UMass Anti-War Coalition.
