OUR BIG BOX SEASON IS BACK!
Set during the famously troubled 1974 shoot of Jaws, The Shark Is Broken depicts the film’s three stars, Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider, and Richard Dreyfuss, stranded at sea—battling not just a shark, but also each other. Written by Ian Shaw (Robert Shaw’s son) and Joseph Nixon, the play mixes comedy, tension, and Hollywood-level egos aboard one iconic boat in this fresh-off-Broadway drama.
