shark is broken - the lowry

Dive into the drama behind the scenes of Jaws

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.

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 (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) and stars Ian Shaw (War Horse, Common) as his father, Robert Shaw.

THE SHARK IS BROKEN celebrates movie history and peeks at the choppy waters behind Hollywood’s first blockbuster.
