This work begins with the setting of Leo Gala's house where Leo and Philip are beating eggs. One character offers another to "go away then, if [he] want[s] to," but immediately laughs and notes that "he can't go away! He is obliged to stay here, indissolubly bound to the chain." Another character's first lines include the comical "gentlemen laugha atta me eef I trya best speaka English;" that character owns a (*) shop that serves as part of the setting. At the end of this play, one character reveals that a boy was standing in a fountain looking at his little sister who had drowned, and that boy is proclaimed dead after a gunshot is heard offstage. The Manager in this play wants to rehearse Mixing it Up, but a "real" story involving Madame Pace, The Stepdaughter, and The Father is acted out instead. For 10 points, name this play, in which the title figures wander onto the stage, by Luigi Pirandello.
