The Irish Curse (Virtual Version) by MARTIN. CASELLA Pdf
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.
Could the events of more than four hundred years ago really have some bearing on the murder of a brilliant history student? When a long lost journal, written by an Irish General in the seventeenth century, arrives at the university, apparently sent by the student before he died, Professors Latimer and Reilly know they must investigate – not least to quell accusations that the student was involved with illegal drugs and, somehow, the university is responsible.Although the words in the journal are in code, the student has included the key to the cipher. It remains a long, tedious task to unravel the full, unbelievable story. Meanwhile, the two professors' investigations are drawing them deeper and deeper into a world of witches and the occult, that seems to centre on a tiny Irish town where the violent, unnatural happenings of 1689 have never been fully resolved…
