Adapted from A Million Kites: Testimonies and Poems from the Children of Gaza by Leila Boukarim and Asaf Luzon
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.
Trigger warning: This production includes themes of war, trauma and distress.
Suitable for ages 14+
Venue:
Unity Theatre, 1 Hope Pl, Liverpool L1 9BG
Be proud. Be who you are. Be more penguin.
I am Hamzeh. I love shisha. I hate soup. This is the story of my life (so far). People have many questions. The answer is: “Yes. I can do anything.”
Full of humour and beauty, Hamzeh’s extraordinary story transports you to his village in Syria, Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan, Gateshead and inside his mind: a place full of music, dancing, fantasies and marbles. Hamzeh invites you to be his childhood friends, to hold the moon to light the way into his dreams, brushing the dust from his clothes and taking to the stage.
Warnings: This show includes stories about being displaced due to war, refugee camps and ableism (disability discrimination).
Suitable for ages 12+ , if accompanied by an adult.

Based on a true highland story. In the remote Scottish Highlands two women arrive at a former Crofters Hut in the deserted village of Coille Ghillie. When suddenly the weekend getaway takes an unexpected turn. Cut off from the modern world, Laura and Suzanne find themselves drawn into the dark history of the Croft and the lives that passed before them.
In this bold and haunting play the present interweaves with the past as ancient tales surface and the terrifying truth lurking in the Croft is revealed.
The Croft will star Liza Goddard (Noises Off, Doctor Who, Bergerac), Caroline Harker (A Touch of Frost, Steel Magnolias, The Railway Children) and Gray O’Brien (Coronation Street, Casualty, Rebus: A Game Called Malice) with Gracie Follows (Birdsong) , Russell Layton (ART), Simon Roberts (Witness for the Prosecution) and Judith Rae (The Mousetrap).
