COCK - METHUEN EDITION

Filled with guilt and indecision, he decides there is only one way to straighten this out ...

Mike Bartlett's punchy drama takes a playful, candid look at one man's sexuality and the difficulties that arise when you realise you have a choice

With carefully poised dialectics, Cock explores ambivalence in love and human nature through a nexus of emotions, relations and choices

Stripping back the whole drama to its essential language only, this is a masterpiece of strong characters and well-crafted dialogue

"Mike Bartlett's play is a sharp, witty study of a man helplessly torn between his longtime male partner and a loving woman. Barlett's theme, in fact, is less tortured bisexuality than the paralysing indecision that stems from not knowing who one really is" ~ Michael Billington, Guardian

" ... brilliant and blackly hilarious" ~ Paul Taylor, Independent
