the story of Ruth, a young American activist living in the Gaza strip protesting against the illegal and systematic destruction of Palestinian homes and farmland by the Israeli state. Her story is told by her companion and lover Gerd and a stoic Palestinian woman. The play begins with a clinical account of Ruth's death and then jumps back to her arrival in Palestine and explains the events which lead to her inevitable death. The story is based around the story of Rachel Corrie, an American activist who was killed in 2003. |
