Marianne Elliot’s latest West End production – COCK at the Ambassadors Theatre – has released new production images.
Photographed by Brinkhoff Moegenburg, the cast consists of Taron Egerton, Jonathan Bailey, Jade Anouka and Phil Daniels.
Directed by Tony and Olivier award winning Marianne Elliott (Company, War Horse), and written by Mike Bartlett, Cock is running at the Ambassadors Theatre until Saturday 4 June 2022.
Mike Bartlett’s razor sharp play promises to redefine the battle of the sexes, and is about a male couple in a gay relationship where one of them falls in love with a woman.
Marianne Elliott told the press that: “I feel so excited to be working on this beautifully crafted and hilarious play by Mike Bartlett. It keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. A truly theatrical piece in that it asks the audience to enter the imagination of the storytelling – as only live theatre can do. It’s also all about the acting so to have such a talented, highly experienced, stellar cast is an absolute dream!”
Taron Egerton won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Sir Elton John in Rocketman. Jonathan Bailey won an Olivier Award for his ground-breaking role of Jamie in Marianne Elliott’s West End revival of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s musical Company, and plays Viscount Anthony Bridgerton in Netflix period drama, Bridgerton, with the second season coming out later this month.
The all important understudies for the show, even more important given one had to go on last week, are Joel Harper- Jackson (John/M), Dominic Holmes (y John/M), Jessica Whitehurst (W) and John Vernon (F).
Alongside Marianne Elliott on the creative team are Designer Merle Hensel, Lighting Designer Paule Constable, Sound Designer Ian Dickinson, Composer Femi Temowo, Movement Director Annie-Lunette Deakin-Foster, Casting Director Charlotte Sutton, Vocal Coach Hazel Holder and Associate Director Chloe Christian.
