One character's question "Are you wearing your sweater?" is left unanswered in this play, which ends with the sounds of coughing, murmuring, laughing, and hushing.
One character's question "Are you wearing your sweater?" is left unanswered in this play, which ends with the sounds of coughing, murmuring, laughing, and hushing. One character scratches his head while imitating the month of February and acts like a small child in its beginning, while another character wears red stockings, is called Semiramis, and flirts with the (*) Photo-Engraver. That character's husband, who claims to be a general factotum, greets guests as they arrive through the stage's many doors and is ecstatic when the Emperor arrives to hear his message. That message is to be delivered by the Orator, who turns out to be a deaf-mute. Subtitled "A Tragic Farce," this play ends with The Old Man and the Old Woman throwing themselves out of windows after setting up the titular objects for an invisible audience. For 10 points, name this absurdist play by Eugene Ionesco.
