Who is John?

What is he?

And what will his decision be?"--Page [4] of cover

Press Reviews

"A terrific comedy…Hypnotic and utterly contemporary.” —The New York Times. ”Uproariously funny…COCK is 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!“ —New York Post. ”Pure theatricality. An engagingly unique perspective on affairs of the heart…and that other part of the body.“ —NY1. ”With the exception of Oscar Wilde, quarreling lovers are never as articulate and entertaining as they are in COCK, Mike Bartlett's Battle Royal of wit and persuasion.“ —Variety   ”An impressive package."
