[PAR] [TLE] Dean Corll [SEP] Dean Arnold Corll (December 24, 1939 – August 8, 1973) was an American serial killer who, along with teenaged accomplices David Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley, Jr., abducted, raped, tortured, and murdered at least 28 boys in a series of killings spanning from 1970 to 1973 in Houston, Texas.  The crimes, which became known as the Houston Mass Murders, came to light after Henley fatally shot Corll. [PAR] [TLE] Jerk (play) [SEP] Jerk is a one-person puppet play by the American writer Dennis Cooper, made in collaboration with director Gisèle Vienne and performer Jonathan Capdevielle, based on Cooper's 1993 novel of the same name.  It is based on the story of serial killer Dean Corll and his teenage accomplices David Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley.  The play develops the conceit that Brooks has learnt puppetry in prison and, as part of his rehabilitation, acts out the murders in which he participated via the use of glove puppets and ventriloquism.  The performance also involved sections in which the audience read about the murders in pamphlets, entitled "Two Texts for a Puppet Play by David Brooks" that were distributed.
