Samavesamu’ (The Extraordinary Meeting). This is yet another social satire breathing light humour and portraying the typical modern associations that dream of doing great things.
77:'Abhyudayam’ (Progress), another Sastry play, is similar to 'Mrokkubadi' in focusing our attention on the conflict between humanism. This play was composed in 1940 and the Great War provided the necessary impetus.
74:‘Mrokkubadi’ is a short one act play based on the belief that one can overcome any illness or danger by solemnly taking a vow to please the deity Venkateswara by offering to him everything possible.
87:'Varasatvam’ deals with the longing for a legacy. Dissatisfaction with what one has, goads the young Venkatarao to quarrel with his wife whose unmarried uncle has acquired a huge fortune.
90:'Pativratyam’ is a short play dealing with the troubles of a young man brought up on modern lines. Here the conflict between the western and oriental civilizations is well depicted.
