A Grain of Sand, written and directed by Elias Matar, performed by Sarah Agha and presented by Good Chance, runs at the Arcola Theatre in London from 21-31 January 2026 ahead of a UK tour to Leeds, Mold, Canterbury, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Plymouth, Oxford, Coventry, Manchester.

Renad, a young Gazan girl, embarks on a dangerous journey. Carrying only the echoes of her grandmother’s tales and the spark of her own imagination, she searches for her family and the ‘Anqaa’ – the mythical Palestinian Phoenix.

A Grain of Sand is a breathtaking one-woman show that takes an intimate look at war through the eyes of a child, blending Palestinian folklore with real-life testimonies from children in contemporary Gaza. Renad’s story is one of resilience, hope and the right of children to be children.
