Broadway is having a flashback moment.
Written by Joseph Nixon and Ian Shaw, The Shark is Broken premiered on Broadway Wednesday night, giving the audience a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes drama during the production of Steven Spielberg’s iconic film Jaws.
The play imagines the conversations the three lead actors might have had while the Jaws film crew figure out a way to navigate through bad weather – and a malfunctioning mechanical shark.
It features strong performances by Alex Brightman as Richard Dreyfuss, Colin Donnell as Roy Schneider and Ian Shaw as his father, Robert Shaw, as the main stars.
The Shark is Broken had its premiere at Scotland’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival before moving to London’s West End and then to the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto.
The play was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy Play and a WhatsOnStage Award for Best Video Design.
