The Shark is Broken
This Olivier-award nominated five-star play is a “profound dive behind the scenes of the making of Jaws.” (Daily Telegraph)
Written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon.
FADE IN: The open ocean, 1974. Filming is delayed… again. The lead actors – theatre veteran Robert Shaw and young Hollywood hotshots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider – are crammed into a too-small boat. Alcohol flows, egos collide, and tempers flare on a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic… if it doesn’t sink them all.
Step aboard The Shark is Broken, a “profound dive behind the scenes of the making of Jaws” (The Daily Telegraph, ★★★★). This Olivier Award-nominated new play is “hilariously brilliant and pure genius” raves the Sunday Express (★★★★★) and stars Ian Shaw (War Horse, Common) as his father, Robert Shaw.
Ian will be joined by Dan Fredenburgh (An Inspector Calls, The Bourne Ultimatum, Love Actually) playing Roy Scheider and Ashley Margolis (The Band’s Visit, Two Minutes, Father Brown) as Richard Dreyfuss.
