That Championship Season (Acting Edition for… par Jason Miller

This was a fairly solid play by a playwright who I've not encountered before. It evidently won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama back in its heyday. The characters are direct and focused- this is what permeates through the play's inception to its finale portion. The dialogue feels real and unstilted, moving gradually and growing in intensity until it reaches its climax. Overall, a good play.

3.5 stars.
