COCK  by Mike Bartlett
Directed by: Corey Atkins

Play synopsis:  When John takes a break from his boyfriend, he accidentally
meets the girl of his dreams. Filled with guilt, confusion and indecision,
he decides there is only one way to straighten things out. Mike Bartlett's
punchy drama takes a playful, candid look at sexuality and the difficulties
that arise when you realize 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 drama down to its
essential language only, this is a masterpiece of strong characters and
well-crafted dialogue.
