A Knock on the Roof

The Syrian-Palestinian writer-performer Khawla Ibraheem, who is based in the Golan Heights—part of the territory occupied by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War—stars in her own solo drama about a mother in Gaza dealing with everyday challenges while preparing for the worst. Oliver Butler (What the Constitution Means to Me) directs this coproduction of New York Theatre Workshop and piece by piece productions, which is presented as part of the 2025 Under the Radar festival.
