This second volume of acclaimed plays by Award-Winning Playwright, Novelist, Poet and Actor Daniel Damiano contains 12 of his short works spanning 25 years of his playwriting career. Varied in style and tone but rooted in engaging and diverse characters in highly compelling stories, the plays explore everything from convicts in a prison barber shop, to British women at a possibly nefarious tea engagement, to two New Yorkers fighting addiction at a diner just weeks after New Year's, to an elderly couple's surreal quest to survive despite terminal diagnoses, and much more. The brilliant variety and depth of the material in this collection is a true treat for any Theatre lover or practitioner. Includes: CUT (2011 Arts & Letters Prize for Drama Finalist), THE DESSERT CART (2024 David A. Einhorn Playwriting Prize Recipient) and THE LEPERS (2019 Ensemble Studio Theatre Marathon).
CUT
(2011 Arts & Letters Prize Finalist)
...a fascinating character study...
Steve Allen, Stage Door St. Louis
THE ART OF TEA
This Wildean-inspired comedy of manners was a joy to watch and the perfect way to end the first half of the evening.
Michael Davis, Female Arts (UK)
Four Stars - Damiano takes a loving pot-shot at British
sensibilities creating a comic piece of nuance and intrigue.

THE DESSERT CART
(2024 David A. Einhorn Playwriting Prize)
...the evening's best and most surprising. The play ripens into a surreal exploration of the different ways people define
satisfaction, and the toll taken by our convergent definitions.
Jeffrey Lewonczyk, nytheatre.com
DID YOU HEAR THE ONE ABOUT
THE MEXICAN LAUNDRESS?
It's refreshing to expose excesses of the Department of Homeland Security through satire.- The play is Kafka-meets-the-Keystone-Kops and it's another high point of the festival.
Lydia Howell, Pulse of the Twin Cities
