This section contains works of drama from all periods, thus if the plot summary you're looking for is a play rather than a work of fiction (and yes, even if it falls into the category of a classic) this where you're likely to find it. As always, if you don't see the plot summary you're looking for, type the name of the text or the author into the search bar at the top of the page to find what you want quickly.
