A review by apareruiz
Cock by Mike Bartlett

3.0

Mike Bartlett poses an interesting question about identity and what it means to label oneself—especially in relation to gender, sexuality, and expression. Through his 4 characters, he captures the optimism of late 2000s/early 2010s queer politics in the codification of certain rights and uptick in queer media.

Does it stand the test of time? It’s something I keep asking myself, in particular with the 2022 West End revival, and wonder what ideas can we consider “complex” and what can be considered “outdated”.
