Packet 6: Tossup 8
A member of this group asserts that he “may always ask a man who he is” because “a man… very well may be ‘nobody.’” That member of this group insists he is literally “born for the stage” after claiming to host “the Demon of Experiment.” A member of this group unknowingly hires his step-daughter, a prostitute at the brothel owned by Madame Pace ("PAH-chay"). As actors in a production of (*) Mixing It Up try to determine if the Boy from this group really shot himself, the Manager complains “I’ve lost a whole day over these people!”. For 10 points, name this title group of a play by Luigi Pirandello who are “in search of an author.” ■END■
