This July, return to the waters where it all began!
It’s 1974. The ocean’s wild. The film is over budget. And the shark is…?
The three stars are stuck on a boat, waiting… and waiting… and waiting.
Climb aboard the Orca for The Shark is Broken—the West End and Broadway hit that dives into the murky waters behind the scenes of Jaws, where tempers boil, nerves fray, and the greatest blockbuster ever made nearly sank before it could set sail.
Co-written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, this hilarious and deeply affecting play captures how chaos, craft, and charisma collided on the high seas of Hollywood.
Three actors. Two giant egos.One broken shark.
What could possibly go wrong?
