About A Grain of Sand

Renad, a young Gazan girl, sets out on a perilous journey armed only with her grandmother’s stories and her own fierce imagination. She searches for her family, and for the ‘Anqaa,’ the mythical Palestinian Phoenix said to rise from devastation.

A Grain of Sand is an intimate one-woman show that views war through a child’s eyes, blending Palestinian folklore with real testimonies from children in Gaza. Renad’s story shines with resilience, hope, and the enduring right of every child to simply be a child.

It’s worth the applause

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "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
• "Sarah Agha’s exceptional talent shines as she effortlessly transitions between moments of hope and heartbreak" - Strand Magazine
