THE IRISH CURSE, a comedy by Martin Casella, from 28 Sep to 24 Oct 2010. Does size matter? It certainly does for the five guys who meet every week at Father Shaunessey's self help group in the Catholic church basement in Brooklyn Heights.

Gay cop Stephen has a lot to live up to, lawyer Joseph's wife has just left him, student Rick is chasing every girl who comes his way and Father Shaunessy has his own reasons to be there. When the fresh faced Keiran appears on the scene - his wedding day imminent - they suddenly find they have a lot to face up to.

As mass media descends upon the event, the other members of the sleigh team demand to share their perspectives, and a horrific tale of corruption and perversion emerges, implicating everyone from the littlest elf to the tainted Saint himself. With each deer's confession, the truth behind the shocking allegations becomes clearer and clearer. ...and murkier and murkier.
