With displaced artists centre stage, we create groundbreaking, heart-thumping theatre that brings people together and makes BIG change possible. Are you in?
It’s Good Chance's 10th year. What started in a small tent in the muddy fields of the Calais Jungle refugee camp has grown into a global movement of hope and humanity.
Everything we do at Good Chance - whether it's a play on the West End or a kite-flying festival in your local park - is in pursuit of the ongoing question: How do we live together now?

A GRAIN OF SAND, SPRING 2026
Written and directed by Good Chance’s Deputy Artistic Director Elias Matar, A Grain of Sand went on tour! This one-woman show takes an intimate look at war through the eyes of a child, blending Palestinian folklore with real-life testimonies from children in contemporary Gaza. As mentioned in The Guardian’s Best Theatre, Dance and Comedy in 2026.

STAGE DOOR 11, 2026
Building from Stage Door 10 (2025), which marked 10 years since Good Chance began in the Calais Jungle, we’re supporting 11 creatives from refugee backgrounds in paid placements with 11 leading arts organisations across the UK, welcoming a new generation of diverse talent into the industry.
“When I crossed Mediterranean sea from Libya to Italy and stayed in the Jungle for 4 months, I met the wonderful people of Good Chance. They helped me to forget my nightmare and the journey that I had been on there. Since we were in the Calais Jungle, all through to now, Good Chance gave us opportunities to make a difference.”
