SOME GIRLS' Tsion Habte and Adelayo Adedayo Lead CUTTIN' IT, Beginning Tonight at the Young Vic

The Young Vic's spring production of Charlene James's female genital mutilation drama CUTTIN' IT will feature SOME GIRLS stars Tsion Habte and Adelayo Adedayo, directed by Gbolahan Obisesan from tonight, May 20, through June 11, 2016.

A co-production, CUTTIN' IT will also have runs at London's Royal Court, Birmingham Rep, Sheffield Theatres and Hackney's The Yard Theatre.

The Young Vic's official description reads: "Teenagers Muna and Iqra get the same bus to school but they've never really spoken. Muna wears Topshop and sits on the top deck gossiping about Nicki Minaj's latest beef, while Iqra sits alone downstairs in her charity shop hand-me-downs. They were both born in Somalia but come from different worlds. But as they get closer, they realise that their families share a painful secret. Tackling the urgent issue of FGM in Britain, Charlene James' devastating new play reveals the price some girls pay to become a woman."
