Interview With Christopher Rivas From Geva Theatre’s The Real James Bond…Was Dominican
May 10, 2021
Geva Theatre Stage Real James Bond Was Dominican.
What happens when a James Bond-obsessed Dominican boy in Queens (who won’t go anywhere without his nerf gun), finds out that the real James Bond was Dominican?
This is a true story about Porfirio Rubirosa, Ian Fleming’s primary inspiration for Bond, and a young Dominican actor-to-be whose discovery of “Rubi” shakes his very foundation. Set to a live percussion score, The Real James Bond … Was Dominican is a young man’s guide to love, sex, color, code-switching, white-washing, success, fake-it-till-you-make-it, and the roller coaster of finding one’s true self.
