King Lear Of Roller Derby Plays?

It seems someone else has decided to bring roller derby to the stage, and we missed it. The Chicago Sun-Times has this early review of a student production of a stage play entitled "Jammer."

"Directed by Vincent Teninty, “The Jammer” opens with goofy promise. It’s 1958 as we meet the innocent, earnest Jack Lovington (Josh Odor), a nice Catholic boy working a pair of dead-end jobs while spending all his dreams and spare cash at the local roller rink. Jack’s natural aptitude at skating draws the attention of one Lenny Ringle (Michael Kevin Martin), a roller derby promoter with dreams of making the New York Bombers a prime time television hit and managing matches at the grand likes of Madison Square Garden. What he can actually manage is a two-month tour of fixed matches in grungy venues up and down the east coast. Jack signs on for the tour, and in a Rocky Balboa homage, hollers out his fiancee’s name at opportunely melodramatic post-match moments."

This play was originally presented at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2004, where it won the Fringe First Award for Writing. According to its Dramatists Play Service listing, this play "resurrects that greatest of American entertainments, the Roller Derby: half sport, half show, all action. In just over an hour, THE JAMMER packs multiple roller-derby sequences, a riot, a roller-coaster ride, vomit, spit, blood, sex and love. In short, THE JAMMER is the King Lear of roller-derby plays."
