The story revolves around a young woman named Chandara who is torn between her duty to her family and her love for a man from a lower caste. The second play, The King of the Dark Chamber, is a mystical drama that explores the nature of truth and illusion. The story follows a young prince who is imprisoned in a dark chamber by his father, the king, and must confront his own fears and illusions to gain freedom. The third play, The Post Office, is a heartwarming comedy that celebrates the power of imagination and the human spirit. The story follows a young boy named Amal who is confined to his bed due to illness but finds joy and freedom through his imagination and the kindness of a postman.

The scenes of these plays are laid in India with native characters. The underlying motive of each is the seeking of the real amid the unreal, whether love as it appeared to the awaked senses of the ascetic; or the vision of the soul, piercing the shams of the priest to the perception of Deity.
