Plays By Robert Chesley
by Robert Chesley

This collection contains three plays: STRAY DOG STORY, JERKER, 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
