A character in a play by this author miraculously turns into a beautiful maid after her brother, the Fat Gentleman, shoots at her. This author’s play Frenzy for Two, Or More is often paired with a play in which a character created by this author shows off his ability to fly. A logician uses a syllogism to prove that a dog is a cat in a play by this author of A Stroll in the Air. In an “anti-play” by this author, which is set in an “English interior, with English armchairs,” the Smiths and the Martins engage in surreal conversation after the Fire Chief mentions the title character. In a play by this author of The Lesson, the typist Daisy leaves Bérenger after every character except for him turns into the title animal. For 10 points, name this absurdist Romanian-French playwright of The Bald Soprano and Rhinoceros. ■END■
