About the Project

An industry in freefall, besieged on all sides by disappearing jobs, a fickle and constantly shifting audience, and the unrelenting specter of Artificial “Intelligence.” A writer and a director sit in an A-List star’s waiting room and face this onslaught the only way they can: They wait…and they wait…and they wait…

A.I. has been described as an existential threat to the creative community, and so we here at Bespoke Plays have decided to meet that threat head on with a little existentialism of our own. Remixing Samuel Beckett’s classic play for our current era, Waiting for Gal Gadot asks the hard hitting questions of our time: What role if any will or should A.I. play in the creative field? How long is too long to wait for your dreams to come true? Is there dignity in failure? How filthy can a monologue get before someone complains? Do two middle-aged cis-het white men have anything worth saying in the year of our increasingly absent Lord 2026? Does anyone?

Come gather for a theatrical communion. We are all facing this world alone. Why not do it together?

This show contains extremely graphic sexual descriptions—that were not in fact written by AI (which you can tell because they are extremely funny.)
