Cock at London’s Ambassadors Theatre
John (Jonathan Bailey) is happy with himself, and with his boyfriend (Joel Harper-Jackson) until the day he accidentally meets the woman of his dreams (Jade Anouka). The world is abundant with possibilities, so why do we need to limit things by labelling them, and most of all, ourselves? This play explores love and identity and redefines the battle of sexual orientations.
