Rites is a powerful and provocative new play exploring the
deep-rooted cultural practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
This ritual of enforced cutting has been performed for centuries
and millions of girls worldwide, often as young as five years old,
are still subjected to it. The reasons are complicated and myriad.
It depends who you are what you've been taught. Some things are
simple though: FGM is still happening across the world. FGM is
happening in the UK, here and now. Rites is based on interviews and
true stories from girls affected in Scotland and the rest of the
UK, mothers who feel under pressure to continue the practice, and
the experiences of midwives, lawyers, police officers, teachers and
health workers trying to effect change in communities. Weaving
together different perspectives into a multi-voiced production, the
play explores the complexities, misconceptions and challenges
involved in trying to change what is to many, a fundamental rite of
passage.
