Publisher's Summary

Martin Moran performs his hit off-Broadway play, heralded as "Surprising and moving! Startling, marvelously told" by New York Newsday.

A true story of sexuality, spirituality, and the mystery of human experience, The Tricky Part is one of the most beloved one-man plays in recent memory. Between the ages of 12 and 15, the creator/performer, Martin Moran, had a sexual relationship with an older man. Now over 40 years later and an established New York actor, he has transformed his story into a riveting, often funny, and surprising journey through the complexities of Catholicism, desire, and human trespass. 

Martin Moran makes his living as an actor and writer in New York City. He has appeared in many Broadway and off-Broadway plays, including Titanic, Cabaret, Bells Are Ringing, and Floyd Collins. He won a 2004 Obie Award for The Tricky Part.

Note: The Tricky Part contains mature and sensitive themes.

Honest and moving!

In the audio version of his solo play, actor Martin Moran bravely recounts the true story of his religious childhood and how, as an adult, he confronted the Catholic boys camp counsellor who sexually abused him as a child. Considering the topic, this contains a surprising amount of humour and positivity as well as a thoughtful self-analysis. This won’t be for everyone, but it was a privilege to listen to Martin perform his story in a riveting, well-acted, and almost chatty tone. Survivor stories need to be told and it doesn’t get more honest than this. (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue)
