John has been in a stable relationship with his boyfriend for a number of years

But when he takes a break, he accidentally falls in love with a woman

Torn between the two, filled with guilt and conflicting emotions, he doesn't know which way to turn

His boyfriend is willing to wait for him to make a decision

But so is his girlfriend

And both are prepared to fight to keep him

As the pressure mounts, a dinner with both parties is arranged, and everyone wants to know - Who is John?

What is he?

And what will his decision be?

A comic discussion of identity and sexuality, the play is specified to be performed with no props or set, so the focus is always on the drama of the situation

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
