Each Child a Light Partners with Good Chance Theatre for ‘A Grain of Sand’ at Arcola Theatre, January 2026

We are delighted to be partnered with Good Chance Theatre during their run of ‘A Grain of Sand’ at London’s Arcola Theatre from 21-31 January 2026. 

A Grain of Sand (★★★★★) is a one-woman show “of breathtaking power and nuance” (Good News Liverpool) that takes an intimate look at war through the eyes of a child with “unflinching authenticity” (Liverpool Noise). Written and directed by Elias Matar, the play blends Palestinian folklore with real-life testimonies from children in contemporary Gaza. Renad’s story, performed by Sarah Agha, is one of resilience, hope and the right of children to be children.

During the play’s two-week run, a selection of panels from the quilt will be on display in the theatre’s foyer. An accompanying creative workshop inviting participants to design and make a square to be added to the quilt will be held on Saturday 24th from 1pm – 3pm.

Immediately following the workshop there is a matinee performance of A Grain of Sand at 3pm,
