There is a one women play that has been showing in England that is about her and her writings. Rachel was the activist from Washington State that went to Palistine to nonviolently protest the destruction of Palistinians' homes and was killed when she was run over by an Israeli bulldozer that was knocking down homes. Billy was saying that an artistic director in New York had canceled the show there and that all Americans should be outraged by the cancellation of the show.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link!
