| Description |
Bert and J.R. are San Francisco faggots. Their beauty transcends any considerations of age, race, body type or traditional 'good looks'. They communicate through high-tech devices, yet never actually meet. They share sex, love, everyday life and ultimately death. Jerker is their story. First performed in 1985 and causing a huge stir with religious groups, Jerker is a pioneering work on homosexuality, censorship and sex. |
