This brilliantly witty play captures the reality of three legendary actors being trapped on the ‘Orca,’ egos clashing, waiting for a mechanical shark that refuses to work to attack. It's Hollywood chaos at its finest. The show fits perfectly into our season exploring 'truth and illusion' because it reveals the messy, hilarious reality behind movie magic - Robert Shaw’s journals captured their day-to-day reality and while those days did not make it to the screen it embodied a story that was just as compelling as the film itself. Fair warning: based on the buzz we're hearing, we're gonna need a bigger theater!
