A play by an author born (-5[1])in this country ends with all the characters shouting “it’s not that way, it’s over here!” after a visit from a Fire Chief (-5[1])during a dinner party between the Smiths and the Martins. (10[2])For 10 points, name this home country of Tristan Tzara and Eugène Ionesco. (10[1])■END■ (10[4]0[1])
