Reviews
"A terrific comedy ... Hypnotic and utterly contemporary" ~ NY Times
"Uproariously funny ... a rite of spring you shouldn't miss!" ~ New York Magazine
"Exhilarating! Robust and rollicking. Mike Bartlett's dialogue crackles and pops with the rhetoric of vituperation" ~ The New Yorker
"Never mind its provocative title - COCK is wonderful!" ~ NY Post
"Pure theatricality. An engagingly unique perspective on affairs of the heart ...and that other part of the body" ~ NY1
