  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.

  Un pis al ensanche by José Feliú y Codina is a one-act stage comedy written in the late 19th century. Set in contemporary Barcelona, it centers on a bachelor's Eixample apartment and the romantic mix-ups that swirl around it. The play playfully explores courtship, jealousy, and gossip as a wedding plan collides with old flames and new tenants. The action follows Feliu, a middle-aged bachelor preparing to marry Eulalia and vacate his beloved flat. While a meticulous notary keeps asking if he is truly decided, two prospective tenants arrive: Carreras, a hot-blooded gentleman, and Guadalupe, his former fiancée, whose engagement to him collapsed amid rumors about a notorious "invited guest." Recognizing each other in Feliu's living room, they relive their quarrel and trade accusations, with Feliu awkwardly mediating. The argument uncovers that the scandalous guest was Eulalia herself, prompting Feliu to break off his wedding and cling to his bachelor's life. The notary reappears as Feliu nudges Carreras and Guadalupe toward reconciliation, and a final message announces that the scheming Miralles has married Eulalia—leaving Feliu happily in his old apartment and the estranged pair newly open to making peace.

  Disputa de l'ase

  Anselm Turmeda

  Narrat per: Bernat Quintana, Josep Pedrals.
  La Disputa, escrita de vers els anys 1417-1418, constitueix una divertida sàtira de la pretesa superioritat humana respecte dels animals. S'hi narra un àgil diàleg entre fra Anselm i l'ase del títol, que posa de manifest el profund escepticisme doctrinal del seu autor.L'obra utilitza diferents gèneres del món literari medieval: l'apòleg, la disputa, la profecia i el relat satírico-còmic, sense oblidar els elements al•legòrics i cavallerescos. Inclou també components autobiogràfics (o que volen semblar-ho) de Turmeda, un frare apòstata que acabà abraçant l'Islam. El resultat és un producte irònic, amb una aparença moralista. És per això que sovint ha estat mal interpretat pels estudiosos del segle XX com a obra d'un autor penedit de la seva deserció religiosa. L'obra no va poder esquivar la censura coetània, fou condemnada per la Inquisició i només en restà la traducció al francès. La versió d'Albert Mestres i Marta Marfany és una traducció de l'original francès. Argument de l'obra L'aventura s'inicia amb un passeig pel bosc, fra Anselm s'adorm mentre les bèsties debaten l'elecció del nou rei.L'assemblea d'animals, que reuneix des dels més nobles (com el lleó i l'elefant) fins als més baixos (el poll, la puça, la lladella) és una metàfora de la societat humana, un tema molt recurrent a la literatura medieval. En arribar a un acord, els animals ho celebren cantant, saltant i provocant un esvalot que desperta Turmeda. El conill el reconeix de la seva vida captiva anterior, i el rei Lleó, després de sentir-ne a parlar, sol•licita la seva compareixença per tal que aquest "fill d'Adam" els esclareixi cert rumor: que considera l'espècie humana superior als animals. I és així com s'inicia el nus de la faula, un diàleg entre el frare i un "ase cap de suro i desgraciat" que contradiu totes les raons de l'home. Fra Anselm s'esforça a pronunciar dinou arguments a favor de la superioritat de la seva espècie enfront de les altres. Exposa amb audàcia i gosadia raons de costums, d'aparença, de virtuts, d'intel•lecte… però no és fins a l'últim i decisiu argument que desarma el seu interlocutor:Déu es va encarnar en home i no en animal. Davant la derrota, el rei reconeix la seva naturalesa inferior i submisa als éssers humans i deixa anar lliure el captiu. L'autor insereix entremig de la trama vuit històries còmiques que ataquen els frares sense pietat i una profecia de caire transcendental i en vers predita pel "reverendíssim" ruc.
