Columbia School Of The Arts Presents CUCK, CUCK, BULL

Columbia University School of the Arts will present Spencer Whale's (Columbia MFA Directing Candidate 2023) production of Cuck, Cuck, Bull.

Bushwick gays Danny and Ike are getting married! But they're runnign out of time to decide what that means. When a confident third introduces them to fresh sexual dynamics, their growing secrets threaten to tear them apart. Perhaps literally.
Cuck, Cuck, Bull is a new traumedy by Spencer Whale about losing your way in the endless labyrinth of the Internet. This outrageous exploration of a modern queer subculture explores the dark side of mainstream acceptance and to what lengths couples will go to maintain a sense of the taboo.
