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 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.
There will be a free 30 minute post show Q&A for ticket holders following the Tue performance.
★★★★★
“A performance of breathtaking power and nuance.”
Good News Liverpool
“A theatrical gut punch […] This is not theatre that asks for your applause. It demands your empathy. It demands your reckoning. It demands, above all, that we do not look away. And for the sake of our shared humanity—we must not.”
Liverpool Noise
“This grounding in testimony lends the narrative an unflinching authenticity, giving Palestinians a powerful platform to speak their truths through art… Sarah Agha’s exceptional talent shines as she effortlessly transitions between moments of hope and heartbreak.”
