KNOCK KNOCK
Description
The full script for the V&A recognised stage play, KNOCK KNOCK.
“I have dissociative identity disorder. Do you know what that means? It means people like you think I'm insane.”
A slaughterhouse is set on fire and a body is found. The man believed to be responsible is questioned. A disturbing game of cat and mouse ensues until a series of flashbacks and recalled memories finally exposes the truth.
“I hear voices in my head. Each one as recognisable and individual to me as yours is to you.” Combining live performance, film and music, KNOCK KNOCK dares us not to look away.
“My name is Billy Carr and this is our story.”

I sat so merry in my abode
Loving hands around me
I dreamt of such glorious days
One day i would see
I remember the day I left
My room
I closed the door behind me
One quick look again
Then walked away
The room which would always remind me
The glorious days I had dreamt
I did merrily spent
How little did I then know
Life turns on a dime
My room is now not as it was
When I closed the door
Behind me
My room now is a prison
But not how one would invision
It is one of sorrow and grief
Sadness burns into the bare walls
I catch my breath
And weep
Why did thou'st doth betray?
The room which once embraced me
I ask with riddled heart
Jagged and torn
Which wicked riddles have I thus sought?
I sit still
I am now my room
No dreams as once before
I age before my open door
In my room long ago
I sat merrily in my loving abode
Loving hands did hold me
All gone
My room and myself
Now one
Two thrust to be together
Forever
Alone
