The title gets your attention, but Mike Bartlett’s dramatic comedy is more conventional than transgressive. Cock is the classic game of triangles, but with a twist. In this case a gay couple has taken a break from one another and during the separation one of the men has fallen in love with a woman.

Bartlett populates his play about love, sex, and personal definition with characters who can instinctively sense the vulnerabilities of others. And when they smell blood they peck.
Cock opens in the University of Memphis’ lab theater tonight. It is directed by James Kevin Cochran, with a cast that includes Evan McCarley, William Henry, Xanthe Mumm, and Stephen Huff. All performances are pay-what-you-can and tickets will be sold at the door on a first come, first served basis.
