The Irish Curse

by Martin Casella / directed by Robin Frome / executive producer Tillie Page Laird

Main Stage | March 2,3,9,10,16,17,18,23,24 2012

What “The Irish Curse” is – and how it manifests itself – is the raw centerpiece of this wicked, rollicking, and very funny new play. Size matters to a small group of Irish-American men who meet weekly in a Catholic church basement in New York City as part of a self-help group for guys who possess a certain anatomical “shortcoming.” This alleged Irish trait is the focus of their weekly sessions as they all feel this “curse” has ruined their lives. THE IRISH CURSE is a revealing portrait of how men, and society, define masculinity, male identity, and the relationships men must face each and every day of their lives.
