Why we like it
"Dunlop's 'An Overpraised Season' cleverly critiques the theatrical establishment, providing a sharp reflection on artistic merit."
From: Underrated or Overlooked MasterpiecesNumerous problems facing today's intelligent and sensitive adolescents are treated in the 40 minute play, which, in episode form, concerns two boys and a girl; a domineering, religiously fanatic mother; and a selfish, egocentric father.
A narrator, somewhat like the Stage Manager of Our Town, propounds the philosophy of the play.
An Overpraised Season is a play written by Richard S Dunlop and published by Samuel French (1960).
