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.

A co-production of New York Theatre Workshop with piece by piece productions. Presented in partnership with the 2025 Under the Radar festival.
