2004 Obie Award Winner

Drama Desk nominee: Outstanding Play and Outstanding Solo Performance

Outer Critics Circle nominee: Outstanding Solo Performance

2005 GLADD nominee: Outstanding NY Theater: Broadway & Off-Broadway

THE TRICKY PART, one of the most heralded one-man plays in recent memory, tells the true story of sexuality, spirituality and the mystery of human experience. Between the ages of 12 and 15, the author had a sexual relationship with an older man, a counselor he met at a Catholic boys camp. Now 42 and an established New York actor, he has transformed his story into a riveting, often funny and always surprising journey throughout the complexities of Catholicism, desire and human trespass.

“A translucent memoir of a play…shattering.”
 – Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“Powerful.”  – The New York Post

“Surprising and moving! Startling, marvelously told.” 
 – New York Newsday

“Deeply personal and exceedingly honest. It steadily builds from its unassuming beginning to an emotionally charged ending. A powerful, truthful account.”  – Broadway.com

“An emotionally honest play about sexuality and reconciliation.” – Associated Press

“The Tricky Part is the most powerful play of the season.”
– Next Magazine

THE TRICKY PART was originally produced by James B. Freydberg, CTM Productions, Wendy vanden Heuvel, Sharon Rosen in association with True Love Productions and was directed by Seth Barrish. For production history, click here.

ALL THE RAGE

WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY MARTIN MORAN

2013 Lucille Lortel Award: Outstanding Solo Show

Outer Critics Circle Award Nominee: Outstanding Solo Show 

Martin wondered for most of his adult life about anger. Surely he should have more rage about the crime he experienced as a boy, shouldn’t he? Everyone thinks so. The question haunts him and sends him on a quest from west of the Rockies to south of Johannesburg. Jumping from dream to memory to fact he finds himself in an electric encounter with his fuming stepmother, lost in Africa with a guide who can’t read maps, and in a room translating the details of an asylum seeker’s torture. With equal parts honesty and entertainment, ALL THE RAGE attempts to solve an ancient human riddle: How is it that one moment we might reach out in compassion and the next…kill?

“Profoundly touching. This soulful show leads you into thought-and-emotion-stirring territory that you don’t often visit at the theater.”
 – Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“…brilliant, funny and touching.”   – The New Yorker 

“A potent and deeply moving monologue about living with forgiveness without getting all mushy about it. Don’t miss this gem of a show!”  – Bloomberg News

“Heartwarming and hilarious!”   – Backstage

“Moran moves his eighty-minute odyssey seamlessly.”
– New York Daily News

“…a riveting new solo show.”   – Broadway.com

THE TRICKY PART MEMOIR

WRITTEN BY MARTIN MORAN

Winner, 2005 LAMBDA Literary Award for Belles Lettres

Winner, 2005 Randy Shilts Non-Fiction Award

Second Place, Nonfiction: The Barnes and Noble 2005 Discover Award

Between the ages of twelve and fifteen, Martin Moran had a sexual relationship with an older man, a counselor he’d met at a Catholic boys’ camp. Almost thirty years later, at the age of forty-two, he set out to find and face his abuser.

The Tricky Part tells the story of this relationship and its complex effect on the man Moran became. He grew up in an exemplary Irish Catholic family–his great aunt was a cloistered nun; his father, a newspaper reporter. They might have lived in the Denver Neighborhood of Virginia Vale, but they belonged to Christ the King, the church and school up the hill. And the lessons Martin absorbed, as a good Catholic boy, were filled with the fraught mysteries of the spirit and the flesh.

Into that world came Bob — a Vietnam vet carving a ranch camp out of the mountain wilderness, showing the boys under his care how to milk cows, mend barbed wire fence, and raft rivers. He drove a six-wheeled International Harvester truck; he could read the stars like a map. He also noticed a young boy who seemed a little unsure of himself, and he introduced that boy to the secret at the center of bodies.

Told with startling candor and disarming humor, The Tricky Part carries us to the heart of a paradox–that what we think of as damage may be the very thing that gives rise to transformation, even grace.

What People are Saying about The Tricky Part:

“A beautiful book. Martin Moran is a graceful, witty, perceptive writer, remarkably brave, free of self-pity – his spirit, manifest on every page, is discerning and generous to the point of radiance. He’s a scrupulous and precise rememberer and explorer, and because he refuses simplification for the sake of judgment and yet insists on the necessity of rendering judgment, The Tricky Part is fully human, unsettling and wise.”
– Tony Kushner, Author of Angels in America

“A tender, searingly honest, and heartbreaking account of the legacy of sexual violation. Moran bravely unveils the tricky part: the paradoxical worlds of longing and shame, the erotic and the reviled, the profane and the sacred all living in one act, one man, one life. Gorgeously written, the book is a divine literary and spiritual exorcism.”
– Eve Ensler, Author of The Vagina Monologues

“Martin Moran has written a story about difficult, painful and deeply personal events in his life with uncommon generosity and decency. The story is shocking, even brutal, but I felt cleansed at its end. He has found compassion where I would have thought there was none. When art does that, it enriches us, and his book is art.”
– Terrence McNally, Tony Award winning author of Frankie and Johnny … 

“Martin Moran has written an account of a childhood at once conventional and nearly unfathomable. A deep, tempered spirit shines through every page, by turns understated and dazzling, wildly comic and gut wrenching.”
– Nick Flynn, Author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City

“Martin Moran not only writes unflinchingly about the sexual abuse of a child, he expands it into a meditation on suffering, despair, forgiveness, redemption, and the mysterious workings of grace. He elevates the confessional to the level of art.”
– Michael Cunningham, Author of The Hours

“The Tricky Part is a story of sexual abuse and its seemingly endless half life-remarkable, then, that this isn’t a book about blame, but forgiveness. Those of us, and we are legion, whose innocence has not been lost so much as taken, have a choice. We can remain children and insist on a black and white vision of perpetrators and victims, or, like Martin Moran, we can grow up. We can arrive at the understanding that love is only as pure, or as whole, or as beautiful, as the always imperfect beings who offer and demand it.”
– Kathryn Harrison, Author of The Kiss

“The Tricky Part is that rare, triumphant thing-a book so bravely remembered and so fully imagined as to be capable of rendering a life in all of its moral complexity.”
– Richard McCann, Author of Mother of Sorrows

“In an age where reality television exploits intimacy, and tell-all autobiographies have become endemic, Martin Moran’s book restores faith in the literary memoir. In documenting his troubling childhood relationship with a much older man, he eschews ready sensationalism and-instead-bravely articulates the complexities that color even the most taboo relationships. And he accomplishes it all with a prose style that is rich, immediate and constantly surprising. His is a book both haunting and profound.”
– Doug Wright, Author of Quills
