This author concluded one of his plays by having one character stand atop a chair, signalling for the curtain's fall. In another play, he created the characters of the Chef and Giotto, who accompany a modern Dante who is speechless for the entire first act. That play was part of a planned trilogy, another volume of which is about the Auschwitz trials and is titled The Investigation. He wrote a novel about the underground congregation of teens disaffected with the (*) Nazi regime in the front lines of the Spanish Civil War, but remains best known for a play that he ended with the Herald calling for four singers to sing about 15 years of France's history just as the inmates of the Charenton Asylum go crazy. For 10 points, identify this author of The Aesthetics of Resistance and a play about a play staged by an author about the assassination of a French Revolutionary figure, titled Marat/Sade.
