My Name Is Rachel Corrie Starring Ashley Malloy
On Tuesday, May 3, Community Church of Boston will present the one-woman play, compiled from Rachel's diary entries at Hibernian Hall.
The one woman show My Name is Rachel Corrie, was edited from the original writings of Corrie and edited by actor Alan Rickman and journalist Katherine Viner. The play chronicles the life of the American Peace Activist who traveled to Gaza in 2003 with the ISM to defend Palestinian homes from being demolished. She was killed on March 16th of that year by an Israeli bulldozer while protecting a host family’s house from being destroyed.
Here's what people are saying about this touring production, with actress Ashley Malloy as Rachel Corrie!
“Malloy's portrayal of each and every stage of Corrie's development is immaculate. Within the space of about 90 minutes, she smoothly moves the character from a franticly earnest youth to an extremely bewildered but present and determined and articulate young adult.” -Rochester City Newspaper

“[Malloy’s] youthful energy is electric, and she builds knowledge and awareness with her character in a progression that is subtle and transfixing….Malloy conveys the tragedy of all the people touched in this story, a Palestinian gardener, Rachel’s mother, Rachel at various stages in life, with acute sensibility.” -New York Theatre Guide
