Play Pulled From New Rep

Posted by Geoff Edgers May 9, 2007 06:39 AM

The New Repertory Theatre had been planning to pair the controversial "My Name Is Rachel Corrie," about the pro-Palestinian American activist who dies on the West Bank, with "To Pay the Price," the story of Jonathan "Yoni" Netanyahu, the lone Israeli military person killed in the daring hostage rescue mission at Entebbe Airport.

No dice, said Iddo Netanyahu, one of Yoni's brothers. (His other brother, Benjamin, is the former Israeli prime minister.)

"My Name is Rachel Corrie" will now rotate with "Pieces," another one woman play centered around the Middle East conflict.
