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 London and New York.
John has been with his boyfriend for seven years, so it’s a surprise to them both when John meets and falls in love with a woman. But is it love or is it infatuation? Or maybe it’s just the allure of something different or a kind of normalcy that society has convinced him he really wants?
A playful, candid look at one man’s sexuality and the difficulties that arise when you realize you have a choice.
The Evening Standard called it ‘a smart, prickly and rewarding view of sexual and emotional confusion’ while to the Guardian it was ‘a sharp, witty study of a man helplessly torn.’
