Abstract
This paper deals with an aspect that these three modern plays have in common: the use of verbal and physical games on stage. We show how, by using the games apparently as a means of filling the time, their respective authors aim at a psychological and dramatical effect, since they take place in crucial situations, involve a great deal of inner disillusionment or nervous strain on the part of their main characters and result in a new more hopeful vision of their lives and external circumstances.
