The Shark is Broken

The Shark is Broken

The Shark is Broken
By Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon
Directed by Amy Rickett

All aboard the Orca! The Shark is Broken celebrates movie history in this behind the scenes exploration of Hollywood’s first summer blockbuster. Notoriously unreliable, the mechanical prop shark in Jaws holds Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider trapped on a boat that is much too small to contain their egos and tempers as they attempt to keep this movie magic afloat.

Described as a drama with laugh lines, this show runs 90 minutes with no intermission.
