Britain's What's On Event Guide
COCK
COCK?! No, you don’t see one, and no, it isn’t really about that. Mike Bartlett’s witty, provoking 2009 drama, Cock, focuses on a gay man who falls for a woman. It asks whether it’s who or what we’re attracted to that matters.
A provocatively titled play about an unlikely love triangle that was a huge hit in Manchester last year. When a gay man takes a break from his boyfriend the last thing he expects is to suddenly meet the woman of his dreams. Filled with guilt and indecision, he decides there’s only one way to straighten this out. A playful, candid look at one man’s sexuality and the difficulties that arise when you realise you have a choice. The play offers a witty and compassionate look at one man’s struggle with his own sexuality.
The Guardian gave it 4 Stars saying, ‘In a lively revival of this 2009 tussle between love and identity, its barbed verbal sparring overcomes the slightly dated sexual dynamics, This is love and lust as blood sport.’
