You may recall that Sean Lewis recently exhorted us all to read more plays in translation. "But," you may have asked, "where can get all these damned plays?" Indeed, I asked the same question, and with some help from Sean and Google, I've done the legwork and tracked them all down for you. So, get reading.
Firstly, though, let me point out that these are all links to buy the plays. You'll probably have an easier time of it finding them at your local university library. They're great for that kind of thing.
List and links if you click-through.
Presnykov Brothers - Terrorism
Can be purchased from the Internet Theatre Bookshop.
Charles Mulekwa - A Time of Fire
Read the pdf online right here.
Wole Soyinka - Madmen and Specialists
Here's that play on Amazon, and an Amazon search turns up plenty of other stuff, including a couple of collections of his plays.
Bernard Marie Koltes - Return to the Desert
A search on Amazon or at the Methuen Bookshop turns up two collections.
Djanet Sears - The Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God
Published by Playwrights Canada Press. Available from Amazon.
Colleen Wagner - The Monument
Published by Playwrights Canada Press. Available from Amazon. Also in this collection.
Marius Von Mayenburg - Fireface
This one's looking rather expensive, you'll probably want to get it from the library.
Amelie Nothomb - Human Rites
Amazon has the Oberon edition right here.
Jon Fosse - Sleep My Baby Sleep
Amazon has four collections from Oberon Books. Sleep is in the third.
Reza Abdoh - The Law of Remains
Can be found in Plays for the End of the Century. Available on Amazon.

Fire Face is available at abebooks.com. There is a very small number of reasonably prices books - I mean they're not $70 bucks (I bought mine for $20 which includes shipping from the UK.) http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&an=Marius+Von+Mayenburg&y=13&x=61
