Matt & Ben

It's the story Hollywood has glamorized, publicized, and bombarded us with—how it all began for the two young men, now famous for their on-again-off-again romances and their big-budget smashes and flops. It started with a script for Good Will Hunting, slaved over by the bright young dreamers (portrayed in this play's premiere by the female playwrights) in their run-down apartment in 1996. Or was it? This hilarious, scathing play takes us back to the pivotal moment when the finished script that would change their lives. . . fell from the ceiling while they were working on something else. The laughs come at a manic pace in this delightfully venomous play that has taken off-Broadway by storm.
