The word to best describe this play would probably be "overly": overly long, overly strident, overly self-conscious in its Brechtian sensibilities.

The best part was honestly probably the handful of pages that made up the author's preface, which danced around, while never quite explicitly mentioning, the events that led to Arden and D'Arcy demonstrating outside one of their own plays (and subsequently running into legal trouble over it). ( )
