I watched Cut off My Tongue last night and it was just INCREDIBLE. Well done Sitawa and crew! I'm bringing a whole bunch of people tonight, and I hope it's a full house! Are you guys going to stage it again before you tour London? I think you'll need to ;-)
What a breath of fresh air! We need more of you around.

To all 'Cut off my Tongue' Friends,
Due to the demonstrations last night, we were forced to cancel the Cut off my Tongue performance at the French Cultural Centre, yesterday, March 10th, 2009, at 7pm.
We were concerned about the safety of the Cut off my Tongue audience in view of the uncertainty in the city. The traffic problems also meant that some of our audience could not make it in time for the show. We apologise for any inconveniences caused.
We will be watching the situation and the show will be rescheduled in the very near future. We will let you know of the new date. Tickets already sold will be viable for the rescheduled show.
We hope to see you there!
For enquiries call Carol on 020 208 9595.
Sincerely yours
The Cut off my Tongue Team
