The Nation -- So much for freedom of speech, let alone thought.
The play My Name Is Rachel Corrie, directed in London by actor Alan Rickman and due to open in New York City in March, has been canceled for fear of controversy.
The play adapts the diaries of the 23-year-old woman from Seattle who was murdered in Rafah in 2003, when she was deliberately run down by an Israeli Defense Forces bulldozer. Rachel had traveled to the Gaza Strip during the last intifada as an activist for the International Solidarity Movement.
My Name Is Rachel Corrie has enjoyed two sell-out runs in London at the Royal Court Theatre and great critical acclaim; it was due to open at the New York Theatre Workshop in the East Village.

No bias here. Nope, none at all!
Since when is it "murder" when you sit down in front of a moving bulldozer? It sounds more like a Darwin candidate.
Not accurate.
What does that tatoo say....mmmmm...oh, yeah, "Front!"
it is from The Nation....of course it isnt accurate.
This...just after national pancake day...
"She wasn't murdered, she committed suicide and the world is a btter place for it. She was the epitome of evil as she taught children to hate"
Best summary yet.
"The play adapts the diaries of the 23-year-old woman from Seattle who was murdered in Rafah in 2003, when she was deliberately run down by an Israeli Defense Forces bulldozer"
The bulldozer operator should sue the hell out of that lefist rag.
BUMP!!
Yah.

Can I go and cheer for the bulldozer?
BULLDOZER! BULLDOZER! BULLDOZER! BULLDOZER!
Stupid kids who run off to rabble-rouse in parts of the world they have no business in, and starting jumping in front of bulldozers, are not victims.
Pancake bump for later.
bwaahahhaa... as if. Yeah, Broadway really balks at 'controversy'. Riiiiight...
Cancelled for lack of money is probably more like it. The sort of people who would actually like to purchase tickets to go and watch this garbage, rarely have much spare cash on hand. The "sell-out runs" in London were no doubt stuffed with recipients of free tickets handed out to lefty student groups, in order to create the appearance that the play was a success, in the hopes that this would cause some people who could afford to pay for tickets to actually buy some. Didn't work.
I wonder just how many people understood your pun. Is that company still producing machinery?
(About 14 years worth of moons.) ;-)
