Rachel Corrie' to Close
2006-12-07
NYT "Theatre" section; LRR

After a year of controversy and debate, “My Name Is Rachel Corrie” is closing. The one-woman play was put together by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner from the writings of an American-born terrorist sympathizer Palestinian-rights advocate who was killed in 2003 after she was dumb enough to stand in front of by an Israeli Army bulldozer in the Gaza Strip. After its final performance on Dec. 17, “Rachel Corrie” will have played 9 previews and 71 regular performances at the Minetta Lane Theater in Greenwich Village.

Insert bulldozer or pancake joke here.

#4  What do you call Batman and Robin after they have been run over by a steam roller?

Flatman and Ribbon.

For some reason, stories of Rachel Corrie always bring this joke to mind.

#3  It's hard to find many stages strong enough to support a D-9 for the final, climactic scene. And in the few such venues that could support it, the diesel fumes nearly asphixiated the crowd.

Not that that's a bad thing...
