Mike Bartlett’s play, Cock, is to be revived by director Marianne Elliott at London’s Ambassadors Theatre
Taron Egerton, Jonathan Bailey, Jade Anouka and Phil Daniels are to star in a revival of Mike Bartlett’s drama, Cock, in the West End.
Directed by Marianne Elliott, it will run at the Ambassadors Theatre from 5 March to 4 June 2022, with opening night on 15 March.
Described as a “razor-sharp” play about the “battle of the sexes”, Cock explores the labels we place on ourselves in a story about a man who discovers that love and sexuality are not as straightforward as he thought.
The four-hander had an acclaimed premiere at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 2009 featuring Ben Whishaw, Andrew Scott, Katherine Parkinson and Paul Jesson.
Elliott said: “I feel so excited to be working on this beautifully crafted and hilarious play by Mike Bartlett. It keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. A truly theatrical piece in that it asks the audience to enter the imagination of the storytelling – as only live theatre can do.
“It’s also all about the acting so to have such a talented, highly experienced, stellar cast is an absolute dream.”
Bartlett added: “I love Marianne Elliott’s work and have done for a long time so I’m thrilled to be able to collaborate with her on this revival, especially with this incredible cast, which I know will bring both a fresh take and vast experience to a play about love, identity and the passionate human being.”
