Has John straightened out? After years glued to his boyfriend, the couple have been through
a sticky patch, and now John’s attached to someone else. Someone who is different in every
single way. But can John give her what she wants, when he’s never been with a woman
before?
Funny and eye-openingly fresh and frank, Cock is a provocative peep into relationships in
these days of oscillating identities. It tussles with knotty twenty-first century questions: can
we – and should we be allowed to – change if we want to?
Mike Bartlett is one of this generation’s leading writers for stage and screen. His work

2009.
