First performed at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 2011, Cock is the tale of a gay man torn after meeting and falling in love with a woman. Visceral and funny, the play tackles thorny issues rarely seen onstage. Its honest and straightforward exploration of bisexuality suggests that gay or not, people fall in love with those who can give us happiness.
"...Overall staging's quite avant-garde, as the stage device of turning one's back to the audience to signify exiting is only intermittently utilized. No physical contact in this Michael Yavnieli-directed COCK, except for M hugging his father F; not even holding of hands as indicated in the dialogue. The sex scene between John and W has been staged with the two actors positioned three feet from each other and facing in the opposite directions. Additionally, the actors sometimes face each other in talking to each other; other times they face the audience instead." Read Full Review
