Check out this brilliant, brand new trailer for The Shark Is Broken, the West End play that takes its audience behind the scenes of the blockbuster 1970s movie, Jaws. The play, co-written by Robert Shaw’s son Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon has extended its run at the Ambassadors Theatre, due to popular demand, until 13 February 2022.
Ian Shaw plays his father Robert Shaw in The Shark is Broken alongside Liam Murray Scott as Richard Dreyfuss, and Demetri Goritsas as Roy Scheider.
Martha’s Vineyard, 1974: shooting on ‘Jaws’ has stalled. The film’s lead actors – Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss – are stuck on a boat, at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. Awash with alcohol and ambition, three hammered sharks start to bare their teeth…
The Shark is Broken is written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, directed by Guy Masterson, set and costume are by Duncan Henderson, lighting is by Jon Clark, sound and music are by Adam Cork and video is by Nina Dunn. Casting is by Julia Horan CDG.
Here’s that trailer.
