In a play by this (15[1])author, (15[1])Mrs. Madigan (15[1])takes the (15[1]-5[1])gramophone (15[1])of a man who (15[1])exclaims (15[1])“The whole (15[1])worl’s in a terrible (15[1])state (15[2])o’ chassis” (15[1])after his furniture is repossessed when he fails to receive an (*) inheritance. (-5[1])Like another author’s “Playboy riots,” this author incited a riot (10[1])at the Abbey Theatre (-5[1])during (-5[2])the premiere of a (-5[1])play (10[1])that ends (10[1])as Bessie is mistaken for a sniper and shot, (10[1])saving (10[1])Nora Clitheroe. (10[1])For 10 points, name this Irish playwright (10[1])of Juno (10[1])and the (10[1])Paycock (10[2]-5[1])and The Plough and the Stars. (10[3])■END■ (10[3]0[4])
