  "La peste gròga : Pessa còmica-burlesca, composta d''afagitons bosquetjats del…" by Pere d''Alcàntara Penya i Nicolau is a comic-burlesque stage play written in the late 19th century. Set in Palma during the panic of the yellow fever scare of the early 1870s, it lampoons rumor, fear, and official overreaction. The likely topic is a satirical take on public hysteria, misinformation, and everyday opportunism during a supposed epidemic. The one-act action unfolds on a city street as a cobbler (Mestre Cinto) and a coffee vendor (Ignaci) trade rumors about "the yellow plague," while a shopkeeper (l'Amo 'n Pau), two doctors (Don Nadal and Don Tófol), and a city councilor (Pere-Antoni) move in and out. When a sack is delivered to the shopkeeper's closed store, the gossips decide it hides an infected woman smuggled past the city gates. Authorities arrive, tensions rise, and suspicion peaks—until the supposed "pest" is revealed to be a gigantic yellow squash (carabassa) proudly produced for inspection. The farce ends with the busybodies chastened, and the play punctures the folly of credulity and the chaos that fear—rather than disease—can spread.

  La neboda: Comedia en tres actes...

  La neboda by Teodoro Baró is a stage comedy in three acts written in the late 19th century. Set in a Catalan village house owned by a distinguished doctor, it satirizes class pretension and the tug-of-war between romantic feeling and social ambition. The story follows the proud widow Doña Maria as she tries to block her son Mariano's love for the humble Ramoneta, even as she herself warms to the village doctor, with a chorus of quick-tongued servants fueling intrigue and humor. The opening of the play establishes the bustling country household: Miquel and Antonia haggle over provisions, while the cook Tuyas duels wittily with local tastes, and Nando boasts and flirts. Tayabas, a talkative go‑between, lets slip Maria's modest past and her determination to stop Mariano from marrying a shopkeeper's daughter, prompting comic plans like staging a "successful" hunt with released tame rabbits. Maria and Mariano clash over his intentions, and the local physician Don Tomás—once the student "Tomaset," now a retired general—arrives, rekindling a warm familiarity with Maria. At the start of the second act the salon is spruced up, a fruit basket arrives from Ramoneta, Tayabas monitors letters from Barcelona, and Mariano returns to scold him for meddling; Don Tomás privately admits he's in love, and he and Maria cautiously contemplate marriage while worrying how to break the news to family.

  L'ignoscenta by Joan Puig i Ferreter is a tragic stage play written in the early 20th century. Set in a Pyrenean castle in the late 17th century, it probes honor, vengeance, and the devastating consequences of sexual violence and buried family ties. Anxious after his daughter Dorotea vanishes, the old noble Pacià waits as search parties scour the countryside. Dorotea returns at last, pale and rigid, and tells her husband Pere d'Ildevert and her father that a stranger abducted and assaulted her in a cave; at dawn he recognized her by a medallion of her mother, cried for pardon, and killed himself. When the body is brought to the castle, Pacià recognizes the dead man as his long-lost son—Dorotea's brother—who, consumed by hatred of Ildevert, had vowed to harm the woman he married, unaware she was his own sister until too late. Faced with the horror, Dorotea takes her own life, and Ildevert, shattered, begs forgiveness as the tragedy closes.
