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 of who you love. 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.
 
What gives this work its punch and its invigorating lifeblood is something more primal, though it’s rendered in utterly contemporary terms. That’s Mr. Bartlett’s keen and dispassionate evocation of the will to control, to consume, to possess, which that thing we call love often brings out in us, especially when it seems threatened.
-Ben Brantley, NY Times
