A Grain of Sand حبّة رمل
Good Chance Theatre

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 and loss 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.
“Beguiling.” – ★★★★ The Guardian
A “delicate piece of work that beautifully bridges the whimsically intangible and the horrifically real.” – ★★★★ WhatsOnStage
“[Sarah] Agha is a performer with a mesmerising gift for storytelling.” – ★★★★ Everything Theatre

Adelphi '63
Dublin Municipal Theatre & Muirenn Lyons
21 Apr - 3 May

November, Dublin, 1963.
Mary Connors has just won two tickets to see The Beatles, THE BLEEDINʼ BEATLES! One catch – Mary’s ma insists she brings her cousin Brigid along. The girls set off at odds into a city that’s heaving with Beatlemania. A stolen bike, Brigidʼs burning secret and a riot on Abbey Street unites them with a new bond stronger than the love of any fellaʼs haircut.
Adelphi ’63 is a fictional celebration of real events – the Beatles only performances in Dublin and the subsequent riot that occurred on Abbey Street. Blending new writing, history and music, this comedic two-person play journeys back in time to honour the resilience of joy amongst teenagers in 1960’s Catholic Ireland.

Internationally acclaimed playwright and author Billy Roche (Handful Of Stars, Poor Beast In The Rain, Belfry) and renowned Irish Actor Gary Lydon (The Banshees of Inisherin, The Guard, Calvary, Brooklyn, War Horse, The Clinic) continue their 40-year creative alliance to present OF MORNINGTON.
This is a raw, unsentimental drama set in a rundown, small-town café run by the emotionally wounded young waitress Shauna. Former world champion snooker player Phil Athens and his magic cue now live in the apartment above. Licking his wounds, both physical and emotional, Phil yearns to return to his former glory. Enter Mike, the young ne’er-do-well, snooker player wannabe, who drifts into the café looking for something he can’t find.
The three lost souls collide, revealing broken dreams, quiet devastation, and the myths we cling to when the applause is gone.
CAST: Gary Lydon, James Doherty O’Brien, Siofra O’Meara
