Jocker at the Wings Theatre

The Wings Theatre present Jocker, by Clint Jeffries, opening at the Wings Theatre on 21 May 2007, following previews from 11 May and running through to 9 Jun 2007.

Jocker: It is 1931. In a hobo jungle near Flagstaff, Arizona, hobos and tramps begin to congregate, lured by the promise of work on a nearby rail spur. Early arrivals include Biloxi Billy, a tramp in his late 40's, and Nat, around 16 -- a Jocker and his 'Gunsel.' They soon encounter 'Bama Boy and Shakespeare, two men in a very different sort of sexual relationship. It�s the men�s conflicting and ever-changing dependence on one another that help them survive � but when Nat makes a desperate move to get away from his abusive jocker, he sets in motion a devastating chain of events that leaves two dead and other lives shattered. Nat may ultimately get what he wished -- but not at all in the way he could of imagined.

Directed by Jeffrey Corrick, Jocker features Stephen Cabral, Jason Alan Griffin, Michael Lazar, Nick Matthews and Stephen Tyrone Williams.

Costumes by Laura Kleeman and lighting by Eric Larson.
