Timeline
Robert Chesley (March 22, 1943, Jersey City, New Jersey – December 5, 1990, San Francisco, California) was a playwright, theater critic and musical composer.
Chesley earned his B.A. in music from Reed College in 1965.
His instrumental works include the score to a 1972 film by Erich Kollmar.
In 1976 he moved to San Francisco and became theater critic at the San Francisco Bay Guardian, during its golden period when composer-actor Robert DiMatteo was also on the staff as film critic.
In 1980 Theatre Rhinoceros produced Chesley's first one-act, Hell, I Love You; in 1984 his Night Sweat became one of the first produced full-length plays to deal with AIDS.
In December 1981, he wrote a series of letters challenging gay writer and activist Larry Kramer in the New York Native.
Among his concerns were Kramer's role as an alarmist and his claims that the sexual habits of gay men in New York were connected to Kaposi's Sarcoma.
In Chesley's letters, he asserted that Kramer's works had an ulterior motive, to associate gay promiscuity with death and stating that Kramer's warnings represented "homophobia and anti-eroticism."
On August 31, 1986, his two-character play, Jerker, aired on the Pacifica Radio station KPFK's IMRU Program.
Its frank sexual language immediately stirred controversy; later that year the FCC rewrote its rules governing the broadcast of "questionable" works, citing Jerker as the test case.
He was also co-founder of the Three-Dollar Bill Theater in New York City.
In total, Chesley wrote 10 full-length and 21 one-act plays.
Several works were premiered posthumously and several of his major plays have been published.
Chesley died of AIDS in San Francisco at the age of 47.
The Robert Chesley Award for Lesbian and Gay Playwriting, given annually by Publishing Triangle, is named in his honor.
The Robert Chesley/Victor Bumbalo Foundation was established in 1993 to support playwrights of LGBT theatre, and has been in partnership with the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation in Taos, New Mexico, since 2009 to annually award a residency at the Foundation and a stipend to a selected playwright.
