Comedy5mWhat "The Irish Curse" is - and how it manifests itself - is the raw centerpiece of this wicked, rollicking and very funny new play. From its blistering language to its brutally honest look at sex and body image, The Irish Curse is a revealing portrait of how men, and society, define masculinity. In doing so, it dares to pose the fundamental question that has been on the minds of men since the beginning of time "Do I measure up to the next guy?" Size matters to a small group of Irish-American men (all professionally successful New Yorkers) who meet every Wednesday night, in a Catholic church basement, at a self-help group for men with small penises. This alleged Irish trait is the focus of their weekly sessions, as they all feel this "shortcoming" has ruined their lives. One evening, when a twenty-something blue-collar guy joins the group, he challenges everything the other men think about "the Irish Curse" ...tackling their obsession with body image and unmasking the comical and truthful questions of identity, masculinity, sex and relationships that men must face every day in the world."Casella is at his best when he's going for laughs. He gets a lot of them." -The New York Times "Critics Pick! Colorful character-driven comedy." -Time Out New York "The Irish Curse is a very human and even humane play. You will find yourself rooting for these esteem-building sessions to succeed." -Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press "ONE OF THE BEST PLAYS OF THE YEAR! Truly original, truly hysterical and truly touching! You will be enthralled! -Talk Entertainment

I was lucky enough to see this play when it was performed Off-Broadway last spring. What a treat to see a comedy-drama equally strong at generating laughs and heartfelt emotions. With its five beautifully rendered male characters (each dealing with being not so well-endowed) and its focused support-group setting, The Irish Curse delivers on all counts. I hope it's done at every regional and stock theatre in America (and beyond). Playwright Casella's wit, humor, and big heart are apparent on every page of this lovely gem of a play. And you don't have to be Irish to love it!Product details

The Irish Curse Martin Casella 9780573698910 Books Reviews
The Irish Curse is a brilliant, relentless, single-set play that forces its characters to deal with painful issues--masculinity, body image, self-esteem--in a way that both tickles and enlightens. The subject matter is sensitive, and playwright Casella negotiates it fearlessly, but with warm, compassionate humor and insight. Immaculately structured and balanced. There are magnificent roles (and great monologues) for five male actors.
Hilarious. Laugh out loud comedy and gut wrenching drama.
Best line of the whole play I'm defiantly going to be using a lot of monologues from this play. One more word required
its subject has guts if it may lack glory
