Description

In 2003 a young woman was killed while attempting to block an Israeli bulldozer from demolishing a Palestinian's home. The actor Alan Rickman, moved by her sacrifice, has put together a powerful play based on her writings -- a young woman activist who believed she was not doing enough. This is a rare opportunity to get inside the head of someone who was literally trying to change the world, who believed there is hope, who celebrated life and had love for a world that could be. Advance tickets $7 (Students & seniors, $5) at the Bookstack and Kronos Art Gallery, Staunton. Seating is limited.
