‘The readier you are, the better the chance of survival you have’
Pack a Bag. Set a timer. Run. Repeat.

Mariam knows the military often drop a small warning bomb – a knock on the roof – giving tenants living in Gaza between 5-15 minutes to evacuate the building before it is destroyed.

With nothing but a blend of dry wit and determination, Mariam meticulously rehearses for her escape, deliberating what – and also who- she will take with her.

Written by and starring Khawla Ibraheem, A Knock On The Roof is an unforgettable new play at the Royal Court Theatre about survival, obsession, and everyday life in Gaza. Directed and developed by Obie Award winner Oliver Butler and direct from an Off-Broadway run at New York Theatre Workshop.

Theatre & Ticket Info

The Royal Court Theatre is a small off-West End venue located on Sloane Square with a capacity of 389 seats and has three levels compromising of the larger Jerwood Theatre Downstairs and the slightly more intimate Jerwood Theatre Upstairs. There is flexible seating to suit each production however, as it is a small venue, there are generally very good views of the stage throughout the auditorium.

The best seats are in the Stalls which have a decent rake and offer great views of the stage, although the intimate auditorium allows for close-up views wherever you are sat. The Circle is also a great place to sit for a clear overall view of the stage from an elevated position.

Patrons on a budget or just looking to book cheap tickets to A Knock On The Roof can find good value either in the Balcony on the second floor, or the Slips in the Circle where tickets are moderately priced and offer a clear view of the stage
