This review is from: Plays of Gods and Men (Kindle Edition)

This book has 4 plays written between 1910 and 1913. There's no table of contents- the plays are, in order, The Laughter of the Gods, The Queen's Enemies, The Tents of the Arabs and A Night at an Inn. The first 3 plays are set in Arabic lands- the location names may all be made up since I haven't heard of any of them before. The last play takes place in India. The gods in the book's title don't take part in the plays, they're more like an unseen presence who affect what is going on. The plays are very short and don't take long to read. I liked the 3rd play best, and the 2nd play second best. The last play isn't worth much.
