Cock (Modern Plays)

<P>'But that's what this is, isn't it? The ultimate bitch fight.' </P><br /><P>When John takes a break from his boyfriend, he accidentally meets the girl of his dreams. Filled with guilt and indecision, he decides there is only one way to straighten this out... </P><br /><P>Mike Bartlett's punchy new story 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, <I>Cock</I> 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.</P><br /><P>Publication of this play coincided with its world premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London in November 2009.</P>
