A comedy that peeks at the choppy waters behind Hollywood’s first blockbuster.
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, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. 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.
THE CAST: Robert Shaw - Jason Glick Richard Dreyfuss -Dave Cole Roy Scheider - Joe Healy
Step aboard the Orca and into 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.
95 minutes - no intermission
