Off-Broadway Review: Cock

Showing at the Duke on 42nd Street between 7th and 8th Ave, is Cock . The new Off-Broadway play by Mike Barlett. A very intriguing, insightful, and captivating piece. One thing you ought to know before you join John (Cory Michael Smith), M (Jason Butler Harner), W (Amanda Quiad), F (Cotter Smith) and your fellow audience is that if you are one to never be on time, this is one of those shows where you really ought to make it on time or just forget the whole thing. If by some luck you are able to get in, after you arrived late, it would be awkward to get to your seat. The sitting arrangement is quite intimate, like a small gathering of friends. Every eye will follow you, including those of the actors. They are in the middle of a green floor and you would be part of the small circle that surrounds them. There are no barriers. The audience eyes does not only follow the performers but those sitting around them––good way to observe the impact of the play on those around you. Co
