COCK by Mike Bartlett

Play synopsis: When John takes a break from his boyfriend, he accidentally meets the girl of his dreams. Filled with guilt, confusion and indecision, he decides there is only one way to straighten things out… Mike Bartlett’s punchy drama takes a playful, candid look at sexuality and the difficulties that arise when you realize you have a choice.
