Berenger refusing to turn into one of the title animals.
In one of this man's plays, an old couple commits suicide by jumping into the sea upon the arrival of a mute orator, who fails to deliver a message to invisible guests such as the Colonel, the Belle, and the Emperor. In another of this author's plays, the exit of the Fire Chief causes two couples to speak in nonsense words and syllables. A third play by this author ends with (*) Berenger refusing to turn into one of the title animals. For 10 points, name this French absurdist playwright of The Chairs, Rhinoceros, and The Bald Soprano.
