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…

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! 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?

I've entered the lottery for Cock sounds so wrong when read out loud. |

Just looked on twitter if there was any reaction to the first show tonight and apparently there’s been a show stop after Taron Egerton fainted.
