A script-writing inspiration class I attend discussed this new Off-Off Broadway show called MATT & BEN, about Matt Damon and Ben Aflac. Does the show have a Site, what is it about? Any chance it going to Broadway?


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I know that there is a website, www.mattandben.com I BELIEVE. I thinkit is a limited engagement off broadway, so I doubt Broadway would be in its future.

A Broadway run would be highly doubtful, but they have extended to an open run Off Broadway. I saw the show and it is very funny. Written and starring two young women, it was originally produced in last year's Finge Festival. They also played out in Colorado (I believe) before opening this production (with a full set and new director).

The storyline is that while adapting "Catcher in the Rye" into a screenplay, Matt and Ben (post School Days, pre success) experience a miracle. The script to "Good Will Hunting" literally falls from the Heavens.
