Review: "My Name is Rachel Corrie"

I saw, “My Name is Rachel Corrie” which was put on by Bread and Water Theater. It tracked her life from when she was a child to when she was killed by an Israeli-operated bulldozer. Through her dialogue the the audience was able to see the rich relationships that developed between her and the people of Gaza whom she was trying to help. I appreciated that the Palestinians truly got to be humanized in this play. I find there is too much dehumanizing of them in in the mainstream media. When all is said and done I am grateful that this play came to Rochester.
