As a straight man, this role will be a huge challenge!

Close your eyes and think of Elton.

Taron is meh to me, but Jonathan Bailey, hubba hubba!

I hear it's a classic two-hander.

R1 But how many times has cock been in Taron?

Jonathan Bailey was terrific as the groom who's "Not Getting Married Today" in "Company", alongside fellow hottie Richard Fleeshman

I saw COCK with Ben Whishaw. It wasn’t very good.

Do they show any? If not, hard pass.

[quote] Cock follows a gay couple whose relationship is called into question when John takes a break from his boyfriend. While on a break, John meets the girl of his dreams, and must decide what path to take sexually.

Sounds vaguely familiar.

Read my mind r16, I came here to do a Michael Barbaro joke.

I wonder if Jonathan will get a piece of that

by Anonymousreply 18September 25, 2021 12:51 AM

The whole inspiration for this (shit) play (I saw it in Melbourne once) is that a straight guy was confused at all these men saying they were gay after being in long term relationships with women. So he was like, well what about the flip side of that. Clearly knows nothing about what its like to me a man attracted to other men. It tends goes 'one way' for a reason. Well, many reasons, but you know what im saying.

On the one hand anything queer and not 'homonorative' is very in now - shitting on gay men is acceptable. But on the other, surely this should be cancelled as it was written by a straight white man, who clearly has no idea about the experiences of gay men?? Or could he just say he was 'open'/ not '100% straight' if the woke social media queers got it in their minds to cancel him a la Andre Aicman. I remember when the book came out as a teenager, and all the interviews he gave was basically asking him how as a 'straight man' he was able to write a gay love story (even though its not). He was very clear he was 'straight' then, but by the time the movie came out, the cultural landscape had changed so much, he basically had to say he wasn't straight.

It's not a shit play. It's a great play, you dolt, R19. Your woke analysis is a tedious queer analysis that strips away the play's meaning in a drearily simplistic way.

by Anonymousreply 22October 13, 2021 4:01 AM

Yes, you stripped it away in a simplistically dreary way!

by Anonymousreply 23October 13, 2021 4:03 AM

I really don’t understand the meaning of the play? A straight guy wrote a “what if the tables turned” scenario he thought was witty but because he’s straight, he’s ignorant that men have left men for women all along.

R19 Right it’s borderline homophobic perspective to write such a play. I didn’t find “Call Me By Your Name” homophobic but it was totally out of touch with gay men and being gay and the experience.

Such a stupid misreading.

This is the most realistic looking gay couple I’ve seen in entertainment in years

How old is the play, because I saw Bedrooms and Hallways in the late 90s with almost the exact same premise (gay man falls for a woman). Tremendous cast. Bedrooms and Hallways (full movie is on YouTube, btw.) and Cock.

Directed by Marianne Elliot? Lol, no thanks. That promises a very dull evening of theater. And can she please stay away from gay material? She doesn’t have a fucking clue what gay men are like.

by Anonymousreply 29February 15, 2022 12:42 PM

Isn't it noticeable how there's been total silence from the GAY ROLES FOR GAY ACTORS brigade about the non gay Egerton being a non gay actor playing a gay role alongside a gay actor.

It's as if they know something!

by Anonymousreply 30February 15, 2022 1:01 PM

I’m shocked that something like this with homophobic and biphobic elements is being shown in 2022. With an actor who came out like last year and a suspected closet case. I’m seeing very few people having a problem with the concept and homophobic portrayals. Saw some gays are planning on seeing it and I’m like so you don’t have a problem with homophobia? These are actual lines in the play “pussy is better”, “She’s better than you”. Nobody cares about that? They’re mentioning the actors looks and wanting to see them together but I’m like there’s a glaring problem right there. And the fact that this was written by a straight man. What the fuck is going on over there in the U.K?

R29 I don’t think Company is boring.

BAME casting for the "gal."

by Anonymousreply 33April 1, 2022 8:50 PM

R19 Which baffling because how do you go from that to making a play deconstructing homosexuality and gay relationships? Maybe the straight writer felt too uncomfortable looking into himself and writing it from the straight perspective. I find this even more so due to the careless and unnuanced plot and dialogue that are just homophobic. He didn’t have the range to even do a story like this.

R37 that was fast. Tragic to be out of cock, by the way.

Pretty much no one would agree with you R32. Company is flopping at the box office while other shows are soaring (The Music Man made 3.4 MILLION last week while Company barely eked out 800k,) and Eliot had the same result with Angels In America which made nothing and closed quickly when it was here. Even Patti Lu winning a Tony won’t save this misconceived mess of a revival. Eliot needs to go away and stay away. And Broadway needs to stop bringing these dull Menier Chocolate Factory whatever revivals over here. They’re cheap and terrible.
