Phone sex, complicated gay love and a hand across two pandemic eras are just some of the connections to watch for in Robert Chesley’s
Jerker.
Don’t let the fact that the one-act play was written in 1986 lull you into believing its themes are distant. And don’t let its long-winded subtitle – “A Pornographic Elegy with Redeeming Social Value and a Hymn to the Queer Men of San Francisco in Twenty Telephone Calls, Many of Them Dirty” – fool your expectations for simply a light, sexy gay play.
