Cock by Mike Bartlett

F- Paul Jesson

John - Ben Whishaw
Directed by James Macdonald

Seen upstairs at the Royal Court on the night of the Post Show Talk. Daisy Haggard and Rufus Wainwright were in this tiny, 80 seats-in-the-round production.


I like everything I see from Mike Bartlett. It's uncompromising and visceral whilst still retaining a breath-taking degree of delicacy. The performances were wonderful and confident.

These are two of my favourite young actors on the stage at the moment.
