“Now that Matt & Ben has touched down in DC thanks to the impeccable taste of Flying V’s head honchos, we can finally see what all the fuss was about. Director Matt Bassett has a genuine hit on his hands, driven by hilarious performances featuring two actresses-Tia Shearer (Matt) and Katie Jeffries (Ben)… What’s especially gratifying about their performances is that neither one feel obligated to put on a “man act” – spitting at an invisible spittoon, scratching their crotches, sitting with a man-spread at all times, which seems to be the rather annoying default for cross-gender players I’ve seen of late.
