Playbill | Waiting for Bond
This absurdist play is a direct take on Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, replacing the original tramps with iconic Bond henchmen. As they wait in a bar, they cycle through rumors of Bond's death and half-hearted plans to open a gelato shop. Despite resolving to leave, the trio remains paralyzed by the "absence" of their enemy.
DAVID SCHOENFELD
Playwright
David is a playwright whose “second act” in life has been devoted to storytelling for the stage. After a thoroughly satisfying medical career as a dermatologist, I now create plays that explore humor, humanity, and connection. My scripts range from heartfelt comedies to political satire, to concept driven ensemble pieces. With a background rooted in science and empathy, I try to bring a unique perspective to character and dialogue, creating works that balance wit, insight, and emotional authenticity.

JONATHAN MAXWELL
Jaws
Jonathan moved to Raleigh in 2018 and started acting the following year thanks to Gus Allen and Daryl Ray Carliles at Back-to-One Acting Studio. He owes them a lot for helping him be where he is today – which is here to perform for all of you! (Well, technically he is at home while this is being written) So if he does a poor job, you know who to blame! When he isn’t acting, he’s working… but, when he isn’t doing that, he is making episodes for his show about science and space! (What the what show).
