About This Book

But that's what this is, isn't it? The ultimate bitch fight. When John takes a break from his boyfriend, his accidentally meets the girl of his dreams. Filled with guilt and indecision, he decides there is only one way to straighten this out... Mike Bartlett's metrosexual play about love and longing provides us with questions of who we are and who we want to be. John's refusal to fix his identity disturbs and disrupts the lives of those around him in this contemporary tale of sex without nudity and struggle without violence. Mike Bartlett's punchy story takes a playful, candid look at one man's sexuality and the difficulties that arise when you realise you have a choice. Cock premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, on 13 November 2009. It is published here in the Modern Classics series, featuring an introduction by Mark O'Thomas.

Cock
He 
is 
perceptive 
and 
at 
times 
seems 
to 
understand 
John 
better 
than 
he 
does 
himself: 
M
What’s 
he 
going 
to 
say? 
When 
I 
come 
back 
in 
through 
the 
door. 
How 
can 
I 
make 
it 
seem 
like 
it’s 
normal. 
Distract 
him. 
But 
distract 
him 
from? 
From? 
How 
can 
I 
persuade 
myself 
I 
want 
him? 
I 
know!

(p.

M. 
not 
only 
recognises 
the 
ruse 
of 
the 
gift 
but 
also 
that 
something 
far 
more 
profound 
lays 
beneath 
its 
surface 
and 
in 
quick 
succession 
he 
manages 
to 
get 
the 
hapless 
John 
to 
reveal 
the 
truth: 
M
Take 
it 
away. 
John
What? 
M
The 
bears 
the 
bears 
the 
bears 
I 
don’t 
want 
them. 
John
I 
think 
I’m 
in 
love 
and 
I 
need 
help 
because 
she’s 
mad. 
M
Bang! 
There 
it 
is. 
Love? 
Mad? 
She?
