A recurrent theme in Zeytuntsyan ’s works has been the relationship between the individual , society , and the exercise of authority . The majority of his plays draw their subject matter from Armenian history , particularly historical episodes that are relevant to contemporary issues . One major theme in his more recent prose and theatrical works is the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire , reflecting the growth of nationalism in the Armenian Republic towards the end of Soviet rule . His novel the '' Last Dawn '' as well as his plays '' The Great Silence '' and '' All Rise , the Court Is in Session '' explore these themes . These plays have often been performed in both Armenia and different areas of the Armenian Diaspora
