Matt Pepper, sharing St Crispin’s Day
Matt is a writer, actor and occasional comedian.

He’s also written plays that didn’t get produced. As an actor he’s appeared in dozens of regional theater productions, on television in The Sopranos and, of course, Law and Order, in a couple of feature films and, most importantly, right here at the Rattlestick. He’s currently hard at work on his first novel. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and son.
Saint Crispin’s Day was first produced in 2003 by the Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre. It was a Time Out NY, New Yorker Magazine and Village Voice “Critic’s Pick”. The New York Times called it “an admirably ambitious and genuinely witty stewpot of genres and tricks”. Broadway.com described it as “Henry V by way of Tom Stoppard by way of of Monty Python” and called it “wickedly funny.”. A subsequent production at The Straw Dog Theater in Chicago was a “Jeff” award finalist for “Best New Play.” It was published in The New England Review and has had several Regional and College productions since.
