A Knock on the Roof

Set the timer. The everyday existence of a mother during a sweltering summer vacation: prepare meals, pack the bag, run the drill, repeat. With a dry wit and the determination of an Olympian, Mariam meticulously practices for the run of her life—the dreaded knock on the roof. Written and performed by Khawla Ibraheem, this unforgettable new play about obsession, survival and everyday life in Gaza is developed and directed by NYTW Usual Suspect and Obie Award winner Oliver Butler (What the Constitution Means to Me).
