'Rachel' chronicles activist who leaped into Israeli conflict
Post Gazette: "'Rachel Corrie' was created from the peace activist's journals, letters, and e-mails to create a portrait of a woman who left Washington state to see what she could do to help in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It plays in New Olde Bank's secondary space, which seats 48 people."

The whole issue of the play is a good one to bring to light now. All the people involved in the conflict (that is now at cease fire) are PEOPLE. Both sides have had this issue, they aren't seen as people but as a whole. Not every Palestinian is a suicide bomber and not every Israeli wants war. In fact, most of everyone on both sides wants simply peace. I'm glad this show is on, especially now, with so many people being uneducated on the issue.
The overlooked atrocities are not just found on the Palestinian side. I wish the play was a more encompassing view instead of a one sided show.
