The Irish Curse (Virtual Version)

New version approved for virtual performance! What 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 twentysomething 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 face every day.
