Harvey Morton sits down with Dylan Trowbridge, director of the critically acclaimed new production of Cock at COLAB Theatre in London. Following sold-out runs in Canada and international tours to Japan, South Africa, and Brazil, this intimate staging of Mike Bartlett’s modern classic explores identity, love, and the pressure to define ourselves in a world that craves certainty.

Dylan shares his personal journey to directing Cock, how a profound loss reshaped his connection to the play, and why its themes remain urgent today. He discusses the bold choice to stage the play in a stripped-back, 34-seat arena that places audiences inches from the action, creating an electrifying and immersive experience.

As an ally and advocate for queer stories, Dylan reflects on navigating authenticity and respect in telling queer narratives, emphasizing the play’s focus on love beyond labels. He also reveals insights from the production’s international tour and what he hopes London audiences will take away.
