Matt and Ben
Matt and Ben is the funny, scathing, delightfully venomous story of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (played by two women!) who are struggling to write a screenplay in their rundown apartment in Boston in 1996. Much to their surprise and delight, the script for Good Will Hunting falls from the sky and into their laps. Matt and Ben was a hit at the New York International Fringe Festival and off-Broadway.

Reviews
Raves for the Off-Broadway production:
"A deftly comic take on celebrity, friendship, creativity and pizza-fueled apartment life"
NEWSDAY
"The hottest ticket in town. A twisted tale about how Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote the Oscar-winning movie Good Will Hunting!"
US WEEKLY
"A Hit! Acidic, funny and affectionate! Matt & Ben spoofs Hollywood's best friendship!"
NEW YORK POST
"One of the most appealing male-bonding stories since Damon and Pythias, or Oscar and Felix. And within minutes, you don't even notice that they're not males."
