By Martin Casella
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 think they “measure up.” Warning: Mature themes, strong language and adult situations

“Critics Pick! Colorful character-driven comedy.”
– Time Out New York
