In the nursery of their soon-to-be-born child, Sarah and Drew are unpacking boxes and preparing for a new beginning. But when the question of circumcision arises, the ordinary quickly turns urgent. Raised in deeply different religious traditions, this couple finds themselves locked in a raw and revealing debate about their baby's future — and their own. What starts as a single decision opens into buried wounds, unspoken regrets, and the fault lines of love and belief. The Cut is an intimate, gripping two-hander about faith, identity, and partnership at a breaking point — asking what it truly takes to build a future when fundamental values collide.
"MAND'S DIALOGUE IS FAST-PACED, WITTY...A TOUCHING SENSE OF SHARED EXPERIENCE BETWEEN
THE STORY AND ITS AUDIENCE."
