When John takes a break from his boyfriend, his accidentally meets the girl of his dreams. Filled with guilt and indecision, he decides there is only one way to straighten this out...

Mike Bartlett's metrosexual play about love and longing asks questions about who we are and who we want to be. John's refusal to fix his identity disturbs and disrupts the lives of those around him in this contemporary tale of sex without nudity and struggle without violence. Mike Bartlett's punchy story takes a playful, candid look at one man's sexuality and the difficulties that arise when you realise you have a choice.

Cock premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, on 13 November 2009.

REVIEWS:

"A smart, prickly and rewarding view of sexual and emotional confusion... The writing is lubricious, sometimes grubby and in places savagely unpleasant. But it has a wounding authenticity."

 Evening Standard

"Mike Bartlett's play is a sharp, witty study of a man helplessly torn between his longtime male partner and a loving woman."

 The Guardian
