Thu 17 – Sat 19 July

Cock

John is happy in himself, and with his boyfriend, until one day he meets the woman of his dreams.

In a world full of endless possibilities why must we still limit ourselves with labels? Mike Bartlett’s razor-sharp play about love and identity redefines the battle of the sexes as we know it.

 

★★★★ “This is love and lust as blood sport.” – The Guardian

Following its Northern premiere in 2024, COCK returns to the North as part of a wider 2025 tour. The play centres on John, a man who finds himself torn between his long-term boyfriend and a woman he unexpectedly falls for.
