  "Aigües encantades" by Joan Puig i Ferreter is a Catalan stage drama written in the early 20th century. Set in a mountain village gripped by drought, it pits religious tradition and sacred legends about "enchanted" waters against a modern, rational bid to capture and distribute that water. The central figures include the rebellious student-teacher Cecilia, her devout parents Pere Amat and Juliana, the wavering schoolmaster Vergés, the forceful priest Mossèn Gregori, and a persuasive outsider who promises practical salvation. The result is a charged portrait of faith, fear, progress, and community power. The opening of the play presents a tense home scene: while bells toll for a penitential procession, Cecilia rejects the village's rites, sparring with Vergés and clashing bitterly with her authoritarian father and sorrowful mother. News spreads of a well-spoken foraster who claims the village can draw real water from the supposedly sacred pools, and Mossèn Gregori quietly prepares to neutralize him. A scandal erupts when Amat reports that Cecilia has publicly embraced the newcomer, hardening his resolve against her. In the next scene, at the shepherd Romanill's courtyard, villagers gather; the batlle and Amat try to intimidate the host, but a crowd floods in as the outsider—an engineer—insists he brings peace and a practical plan, not an assault on belief. The people waver between curiosity and hostility as he begins to explain that the "enchanted" waters are living and accessible, and the confrontation remains unresolved as tensions crest.

  "Gent d'ara" by Eduard Coca i Vallmajor is a stage comedy written in the early 20th century. It satirizes the clash between tradition and modernity in a Barcelona household where a stern shopkeeper father, Rimbau, demands his son Joanet join the family business while the son yearns to become an architect; Rosa, the level‑headed mother, is torn, as a pompous moralist (Don Ignasi), a sharp, ironic neighbor (Joseph), and Joseph's literary wife Mercedes stir the pot. Expect brisk domestic skirmishes, witty needling, and a humorous portrait of "people of today" pushing against old certainties. The opening of this play sets the conflict in motion: in their old Barcelona flat, Rimbau scolds Rosa and condemns Joanet's studies, enlisting Don Ignasi to preach parental authority, while neighbors Mercedes (a self‑styled intellectual novelist) and her sardonic husband Joseph drift in, trading barbs. Joseph quietly learns from the maid that father and son have already clashed, then counsels the arriving Joanet and his friend Lluis to stay respectful yet firm. A family gathering erupts when Rimbau publicly berates his son and even threatens violence, leaving Rosa in tears as Act I falls. At the start of Act II in the Vallcarca summer house, Don Ignasi pushes Rosa to side with the father, but she defends Joanet's vocation; tensions simmer over lunch, Joseph and Mercedes bicker about her writing, Joanet bursts out over insults to his mother, and Rosa pleads for calm. Mercedes attempts a dramatic reading of her novel, but as Don Ignasi sneaks off to corner Joanet and others slip away, the reading collapses and the family's generational standoff remains unresolved.

  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.
