The 2022 underground hit Dimes Square announced Matthew Gasda as the Chekhov of New York City's downtown scene, the theatrical chronicler of a self-chronicling generation, as well as a young dramatist of lasting power and impressive range. Self-produced, performed in loft apartments and other nontraditional spaces, Dimes enjoyed a month's long, sold-out run at a time when most larger, institutional theaters were still finding their footing post-pandemic. Matt's meteoric rise over the past two years has been greeted with profiles in The New York Times, reviews in New York magazine and Spike, publication in Air Mail, mentions in Vanity Fair, and a host of blogs and podcasts where he has become the subject of heated debate. Matthew's work has become synonymous with post-Covid literary culture, not merely in terms of coverage and the endlessly productive conversation around it but also in terms of creating a new social space populated by leading thinkers and writers.

This collection contains the plays Dimes Square, Quartet, Berlin Story, and Minotaur.
