About This Show
ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY!
Yale Repertory Theatre presents the acclaimed play Matt & Ben, written and performed by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers and directed by David Warren, as part of its 2004 Special Events series.
What if the only thing standing between you and destiny was Ben Affleck? What if the script for Good Will Hunting fell from the sky into your living room? Matt & Ben is the story of a friendship in the face of ambition and outrageous fortune. Picture it. Somerville Massachusetts, 1996. Ben Affleck’s shabby, one-bedroom apartment. Ben’s there with his good buddy Matt Damon struggling to complete a screenplay. But they’re not Matt Damon and Ben Affleck yet. They’re just two guys, down on their luck, dining on junk food, waiting for that one big break.
