NYT letter: This is exactly the kind of theater New Yorkers should see and talk about
Published by The New York Times
To the Editor:
Re ”Theater Addresses Tension Over Play” (Arts pages, March 16):
Last fall, my wife and I spent a week in London seeing plays. We, fortunately, stumbled upon ”My Name Is Rachel Corrie” at the Royal Court Theater. It was the best theater experience we had the whole week.
We still can’t stop talking about the play. It was a beautifully crafted, touching story of this remarkable young woman.
If any not-for-profit theater balks at presenting this piece because its directors think it’s too controversial, they should close up shop. This is exactly the kind of theater New Yorkers should see and talk about.
