Overview
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 provides us with questions of
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.
