Does ATG usually do day tickets? Really wondering if I should hold out and wait or just splurge on tickets.

What do we think the chances are of this being filmed for NT Live / At Home? I'm really not sure I can afford a trip to London much before the late summer, and this will have gone by then...

I booked for this a while back with a friend. I hate to say that I'm oddly not very excited about it. Having just seen Ben Whishaw in 'This is Going to Hurt' I can't help wishing he was reprising his role. I also fall into the camp of disliking 90 minute straight through plays. Hopefully I'm riveted. I certainly wasn't by the marketing campaign. I don't know why but I still feel that the Ambassadors is a strange choice for this. I get it's a good size as a playhouse but not many celeb cast plays happen there. I guess the other theatres were already full.

He did, and Taron confirmed the name of the play rhymes with lock and frock. Thanks for posting Anthony40.

When the play was done in New York in 2012 it was often referred to as Cock (aka The Cockfight Play) as many publications wouldn't print the real title. Even the New York Times called it The Cockfight Play in its review - coyly saying: "“Cockfight Play” is not the title of the terrific, tense little comedy by Mike Bartlett that opened on Thursday night at the Duke on 42nd Street. Its real name, which is only one syllable, is unprintable here, and “Cockfight Play” is being used in advertisements in family newspapers." Given that they could even bring themselves to print Shopping and F**king - and simply called it "Shopping and ...." I guess it should't have been that much of a surprise.

I think it’s pathetic that they couldn’t just say Cock, it’s not like the word doesn’t have other meanings beside that one.
Pretty funny though that after bending over backwards to not say the title Alex Jones ended up blundering her way into asking Taron about a threesome!

I agree. When it was on at the Royal Court the ushers shouted 'last call for Cock' and 'anyone for Cock?' in the bar pre-show.

But then again they have a habit of abbreviating titles of shows when doing the calls at the RC. Most recently there was 'Last call for Titty Wanks' and soon to be 'anyone for Palestinians go Dogging?'

Had a good chuckle watching Alex Jones and Ronan Keating navigate the name on The One Show. Thanks to the member who posted to flag Taron and Jonathan were on the show.
As this opens on Saturday, I was surprised there’s not more excitement on the board for this play - is anyone going this weekend?
I’m not there until almost the end of the month - the same weekend Bridgerton season 2 launches on Netflix so no doubt Jonathan’s profile will soar with the two projects running at the same time.

I’m going to see it on the Saturday: I’m looking forward to seeing it but everyone that I’ve told that I’m seeing a show called Cock is just like ‘hmm…’ and the conversation trails off. Not sure I’ll want to be seen reading the programme for it on the tube/train home after if it’s the same design as the outside of the theatre (ie COCK in bold letters on a white background), might have to bring a brown paper bag…

We do live in a world where the football results often censor the name of a team: S****horpe. And there's your proof. What a sad, pathetic useless society we have built for ourselves being so clever as we think.

assuming the stage isn't too high is an OK price for a 4 hander
It would be interesting to know what portion of the seats are reasonable and what are mega bucks?
Of course it's a private enterprise so they can do what ever they like but to me it appears to be a rip off that takes theatre goers for fools.

Only a small number of the £20 and £32 seats were released, had to be booked pretty far in advance, and you had to snatch them up pretty quickly. On the official website, many dates are showing as prices starting at £125. There’s nothing under £65 at all right now and that’s for the back of the Circle and only limited dates.

For such a small cast, these are definitely very very high charges. Is anyone going to the first preview?

That's a lot of money for Cock.... It’s around £100 an hour which seems about right .
