Summary
Travis is an up-and-coming amateur boxer on the verge of the big time. Jacko is his coach, mentor, and best friend. As they prepare for the big fight that will take them from nowhere to the somewhere of unlimited booze and women, it comes out that Travis experiences sexual arousal in the ring, a fact disturbing to homophobic Jacko.

Media

"Homosexuality, as far as mainstream theatre is concerned, does not break out in the working classes" - and certainly not into sport. Cock and Bull Story...convincingly dares to shatter these myths of class and masculinity.

"Burns with frightening aggression and authenticity. No punches pulled so be warned." - City Limits
