Alan Rickman gave the greatest gift to my late daughter, Rachel Corrie

Craig Corrie — The Guardian, 14 January 2016

“The actor’s courage and care turned Rachel’s story into an extraordinary play, My Name is Rachel Corrie; all the while treating us with a rare thoughtfulness.”

It’s been a few days since I started this and I’m still processing how far it’s come. Hundreds of signatures and counting, real support from people all over the world, and I’ve already reached out to the RSC, the National Theatre, and a couple of charities Alan cared about, still waiting to hear back.

Now I want to hear from you too. If you’d like to be part of a video compilation showing just how many of us are behind this, record a short clip (around a minute) with your name, where you’re from, and what Alan means to you.

Send your clip through wetransfer.com to [email protected]

I’ll also add the link to my example video in my bio under “example,” so if you’re unsure what to do, you can check that out first.

If you haven't signed the petition yet, I'd really appreciate your support. My hope is that one day we'll all have the chance to see Alan Rickman's archived theatre performances made accessible to the public.

If you're able to, please consider sharing the petition with others as well. Every signature and every share helps it reach more people.

If you have any advice, contacts, or suggestions that could help move this campaign forward, I'd be very grateful to hear from you.

Thank you for your support. ❤️
