About COCK

Jonathan Bailey stars in the West End premiere of Mike Bartlett’s Cock at the Ambassadors Theatre. The award-winning play explores the impact of changing relationships and sexual fluidity. Cock tickets are available on London Theatre now.

The Cock play centres around John, a gay man who is in a loving relationship with his boyfriend, M. After seven years living together, the pair take a break, but little does John know it’ll change his identity forever. One morning, John meets a woman, named W, and John begins seeing someone of the opposite sex. Torn between his longterm boyfriend and his new female lover, John’s love life is conflicted. Can he escape the entanglement? Or will the battle of the sexes be redefined?

Cock premiered in 2009 at the Royal Court, in a star-studded production featuring Ben Whishaw, Andrew Scott and Katherine Parkinson. The playful, candid production impressed critics, and went on to win the 2010 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre.

The West End Cock production boasts a similarly impressive cast too, led by Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey as John. He’s joined by Joel Harper-Jackson as M, Jade Anouka as W and Phil Daniels. But it’s not just the Cock London cast to watch out for though. The creative team will definitely make a visual masterpiece too, with an impressive cockfight scene to be staged by Merle Hansel. And with Marianne Elliot directing, after her award-winning gender-swapped revival of Company, everyone will want to see this Cock.

Cock is one of Mike Bartlett’s best-known plays. The British playwright is no stranger to London theatres, with new Mike Bartlett plays popping up across the capital, such as King Charles III, Snowflake and Albion.
