Writer, translator and director, Seyed Hossein Fadaei-Hossein explained about the quality of 380 plays submitted to Fadjr: "The quality of the plays was classified into three categories: weak, average and good, as in the previous years. Most of them were average works and good work was the least. This statistic suggests that Iranian theater has weakness in narrative. "
