Description
Mariam prepares for war. She knows that the army often drops small warning bombs on residential buildings in Gaza, giving tenants 5-15 minutes to evacuate before a rocket demolishes their home. She decides to train for the possibility of this "Knock on the Roof", frantically (and often humorously) practicing how far she can run in five minutes, and what she can carry to safety. Heartbreaking, gripping, and surprisingly comedic, this timely solo show directed by Oliver Butler premieres ahead of a highly anticipated Off-Broadway run in New York City.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
