Angelica en el Catay es una comedia teatral del autor Lope de Vega. En la línea de las comedias del Siglo de Oro Español, narra un malentendido amoroso que acabará por provocar varias situaciones humoristicas y de enredo, en este caso en torno a Angelica la Bella, personaje clasico de los libros de caballeria, hermana del Principe Argalia e hija del Emperador de Catay, cuyo trono llegaria a heredas tras desposar a Medoro.

En la comedia cómica de capa y espada del siglo XVII se usa a menudo la técnica del enredo. El público, que acude a la corrala a entretenerse y también a aprender, sabe qué sucede en cada momento, pero los personajes no, pues son victimas de continuos malentendidos. Asi sucede en esta comedia de Lope, donde los enamorados Felisardo y Celia se ven obligados a escapar de la justicia.

Sherlock Holmes: A Drama in Four Acts is a stage play co-authored by Arthur Conan Doyle and actor William Gillette, bringing the famous detective to life on the late Victorian stage. In this original story (set in 1880s London), Sherlock Holmes faces off against criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty while juggling a delicate romance and protecting a young woman from peril. The play condenses several Holmes adventures into one suspenseful narrative, featuring iconic elements like the Baker Street sitting room, fiendish traps set by Moriarty, and Holmess dramatic disguise and escape at a foggy moor. Gillette, who also portrayed Holmes on stage, infused the script with action, humor, and even the immortal line, "Oh, this is elementary, my dear Watson." The drama was wildly popular, solidifying Holmess image (deerstalker, pipe, and all) in the public imagination. As a published script, it offers a unique, theatrical take on Holmes, full of derring-do, comedic asides by Dr. Watson, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil under the footlights.

The fundamental conception of the drama "The Burgraves" is a dramatic struggle between two antithetical forces: fatality attempting to impose punishment on a degraded race and providence striving to pardon and to rehabilitate. The poet has embodied the force of fatality in an old slave named Guanhumara, a sorceress endowed with a knowledge of medicinal herbs. She has effected several cures, including that of Hatto the grandson of Job, who is the chief burgrave; and on this account, she is allowed much more freedom than is granted to the other slaves. Within the character of Guanhumara there is the contrast between the apparent weakness on account of her age, sex, and condition and the tremendous power that her mysterious and magical talents bestow together with her irresistible will to wreak vengeance.

Oliver Cromwell was written in 1827, but was not performed until 1956. The reasons were its length of almost 7000 verses and Hugos gigantic list of characters. The drama tells the story of Oliver Cromwells internal conflicts in being offered the crown of England. The preface is nowadays considered as one of the manifestos of the Romantic movement.

Torquemada, a drama about the Spanish inquisition, is one of the greatest masterpieces of the master poet of the 19th century. The construction of this tragedy is absolutely original and unique: free and full of change as the wildest and loosest and roughest of dramatic structures ever flung together, and left to crumble or cohere at the pleasure of accident or of luck, by the rudest of primaeval playwrights : but perfect in harmonious unity of spirit, in symmetry or symphony of part with part, as the most finished and flawless creation of Sophocles or of Phidias. Torquemada is one of the sublimest, in all the illimitable world of dramatic imagination.

Angelo, Tyrant of Padua is a drama by Victor Hugo. The French writer finished it in 1835. The historical work portrays the chief magistrate of the Italian city Padua, Angelo.

Mary Tudor is a drama by Victor Hugo. The French writer finished it in 1833. The historical work portrays the rise, fall and execution of Fabiano Fabiani, a fictional favourite of Mary I. of England.

Lucrezia Borgia is a drama by Victor Hugo. The French writer finished it in 1833. The historical work portrays the Renaissance-era Italian aristocrat Lucrezia Borgia. The libretto of Donizettis opera Lucrezia Borgia was based on Hugos play.

Ruy Blas has held the stage better than any other of his dramas and has been popular in America. Here Hugos dramatic theory of contrast of grave and gay, rapid alternation of tragic and grotesque, is pushed to its utmost verge. The scene is Madrid; the time 1699. Don Salluste de Bazan, scorned by Maria de Neubourg, second wife of the do-nothing King, Charles II, plots revenge. Failing to enlist the aid of his scapegrace but chivalrous cousin, Don Cesar, he introduces his valet, Ruy Blas, to the queen and through her sympathetic interest gains official preferment which he uses for political and fiscal reform. The queen and Ruy Blas are betrayed into a compromising situation by Don Salluste, who, when Don Cesar threatens to balk his revenge, ruthlessly sacrifices his cousin to his injured vanity. Ruy Blas kills Don Salluste and then himself, consoled that his death has extorted from the queen an admission that love has overcome all prejudice of rank or station.

Le roi samuse, best translated as The King Amuses Himself, is a play in five acts. It is set in Paris in the 1520s and the plot was used for Verdis 1851 opera Rigoletto.
