Event Details

Explore the choppy waters behind Hollywood’s first blockbuster

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. Play by Robert Shaw and Joseph Nixon.

Contains adult themes and language. Recommended for ages 14+. Run Time: 95 minutes with no intermission

“Hilariously brilliant and pure genius” – Sunday Express

“Perfect summer entertainment.”- Wall Street Journal

THE SHARK IS BROKEN is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service imprint. (www.dramatists.com)
