B3 Theater Presents MATT & BEN
by BWW News Desk - January 23, 2019
Matt & Ben is the irreverent story of how Matt Damon and Ben Affleck "wrote" Good Will Hunting. Friends since childhood, Matt and Ben have always had a competitive relationship. Now, when the completed script of Good Will Hunting falls from their ceiling, the would-be writers must decide what to do with it. The main area of contention is who will play the lead. Will Matt, the serious and studious one, be able to convince Ben, who is normally fun-loving but no less determined to have the role, that he is destined for the part, due to his ability to interpret the role? With the main characters written to be, and played by, women, Matt & Ben is a farcical look at friendship and stepping into greatness.
