This collection contains three plays: STRAY DOG STORY, JERKER and DOG PLAYS (three connected one-acts):
“These
strange, wonderful, heartbreaking plays go beyond magic realism into something
very deep and primal. No matter where he began, in fairy tale or phone sex,
Robert Chesley always took his audience someplace new. He could shift from the
silly to the dangerous to the tender in the blink of an eye. His plays are not
period pieces, but startling glimpses of a recent past that tell us things we
badly need to know about our present and future.”
Christopher Bram
“Robert
Chesley wrote gut-wrenching plays.”
Linda Winer,
Newsday
"Without question,
Robert Chesley is the most incisive gay playwright at work in America today.”
Mark Thompson,
The Advocate
“STRAY
DOG STORY is both brutally shocking and a warmhearted fairytale.”
