Matthew Lopez è un celebre drammaturgo e sceneggiatore americano noto per le sue opere acclamate dalla critica, tra cui "The Whipping Man" e "The Inheritance". "The Whipping Man", uno degli spettacoli più rappresentati negli Stati Uniti negli ultimi anni, ha debuttato al Luna Stage di Montclair, nel New Jersey, prima del suo fortunato allestimento al Manhattan Theatre Club di New York. La produzione, con protagonista Andre Braugher e diretta da Doug Hughes, ha valso a Lopez il Lucille Lortel e l'Obie Award, oltre a un John Gassner Award assegnato dal New York Outer Critics Circle. Lo spettacolo è stato messo in scena oltre quaranta volte a livello internazionale, consolidando la reputazione di Lopez come voce di spicco nel panorama teatrale.
Il corpus variegato di opere di Lopez include "Somewhere", prodotto dal TheatreWorks Palo Alto, e "Reverberation", che ha debuttato all'Hartford Stage nel 2015. Il suo dramma "The Legend of Georgia McBride" dimostra ulteriormente la sua versatilità nel fondere umorismo e narrazione commovente. La sua opera più recente e celebrata, "The Inheritance", un adattamento moderno di "Howards End" di E.M. Forster, è stata presentata in anteprima al Young Vic Theatre di Londra nel 2018 e ha ricevuto otto nomination agli Olivier Award, confermando la sua posizione come uno dei principali drammaturghi contemporanei.
