Are we the only ones that are sick of Matt Damon and Ben Afflecks douchebag faces? Apparently not, because a few years ago Mindy Kaling (of televisions The Office) and Brenda Whithers wrote an entire play about how theres no way in hell the frat-boys turned super-studs could have penned Good Will Hunting (Which I personally rewatched the other day, and that is a really good movie. How on earth did they pull that one off? I mean, were talking about Ben Affleck here, the almost-daddy of J-Los children. And now apparently hes a really good director too? WHAT?!).



The play, aptly titled Matt and Ben, tore up Off-Broadway a few years ago, and now 2HT is proud to bring it to Seattle for the very 1st time. Based on the premise that the script literally fel fully written from the ceiling of Mr. Afflecks shitty, beer-can-strewn, pre-fame apartment (a la Athena from Zeus head), the play is absolutely delightful and deliciously spiteful according to The New York Times. The dueling sexiest-men-alive are left to struggle with Damons ego and Afflecks idiocy as they work out exactly what to do with the apparent gift from the cinematic gods. With Christmas Carolesque appearances from Gwenyth Paltrow and JD Salinger, Matt and Bens bizarre friendship is put through the ringer. The best part? Our favorite Hollywood boys are played by women.



Two Hours Traffic tackles the one hour comic slam-fest with two brilliant actresses, Felisa Smithson and Brenda Joyner. Combined with a female director, Morgan Aldrich, the 3 girls rip those lucky bastards ironic new assholes in Balagans newly renovated space.  Get your tickets now. Do it.
