Context paragraphs:
Landscape (play): Landscape is a one-act play by Harold Pinter that was first broadcast on radio in 1968 and first performed on stage in 1969.  The play shows the difficulties of communication between two people in a marriage.  This is illustrated through the two characters who appear to be talking to one another though neither seems to hear the other.  The dialogue resembles two independent monologues.  The play is often studied, read, and performed alongside "Silence", another one-act play published soon after "Landscape".  Both plays mark a change in Pinter's style, with echoes of the work of Samuel Beckett.  In both plays nothing happens, the action of the plays is brought to a halt putting an added emphasis on the role of the dialogues and monologues that take place.  As one critic put it "nothing happens but much is explored".

Señora Carrar's Rifles: Señora Carrar's Rifles (German: "Die Gewehre der Frau Carrar" ) is a one-act play by the twentieth-century German dramatist Bertolt Brecht, written in collaboration with Margarete Steffin.  It is a modern version of the Irish dramatist John Millington Synge's play "Riders to the Sea" (1904).  The play's setting is re-located to Spain during the height of the Civil War.  Teresa Carrar, the mother, wants to protect her children but ends up fighting on the side of the oppressed.  Brecht wrote it in 1937 and it received its first theatrical production in the same year, opening in Paris on 16 October.  This production was directed by Slatan Dudow and Helene Weigel played Señora Carrar.

Karnabharam: Karnabharam or "The Anguish of Karna" (literally: "The Burden of Karna") is a Sanskrit one-act play written by the Indian dramatist Bhasa, an Indian playwright complimented even by the famous Kalidasa in the beginning of his play Malavikagnimitram .  The play describes the mental pain of Karna on the previous day of the Kurukshetra War.  Karnabharam is essentially the retelling of an episode of the Indian epic Mahabharata but the story is presented in a different perspective in the play.  It is perhaps the only potential tragedy in the classic Sanskrit literature, presented in a form that comes closest to the "Vyayoga" (Sanskrit: व्यायोग) form of one-act play.  That is so perhaps because the Natya Shastra ordains the playwrights to create plays for recreation, and essentially create happy endings .  In Karnabharam, the tragedy does not occur on-stage (Unlike Urubhanga, a tragedy that shows Duryodhana dying - again, written by Bhasa).  Karnabharam shows the valiant, generous, righteous Karna riding out towards the battle-ground, where his death under heart-wrenching circumstances is certain.  The basic plot of this play is inspired by Mahabharata.

Great Catherine: Whom Glory Still Adores: Great Catherine: Whom Glory Still Adores is a 1913 one-act play by Irish dramatist George Bernard Shaw.

It tells the story of a prim British visitor to the court of the sexually uninhibited Catherine the Great of Russia.

Translations: Translations is a three-act play by Irish playwright Brian Friel, written in 1980.  It is set in Baile Beag (Ballybeg), a Donegal village in 19th century agricultural Ireland.  Friel has said that "Translations" is "a play about language and only about language", but it deals with a wide range of issues, stretching from language and communication to Irish history and cultural imperialism.  Friel responds strongly to both political and language questions in the modern-day Republic of Ireland.  He said that his play "should have been written in Irish" but, despite this fact, he crafted carefully the verbal action in English which makes the dynamics of the play come alive, and brings its political questions into true focus.
