Fifty years after Jaws first terrified audiences, discover the real-life chaos that happened off-screen. The Shark Is Broken dives into the turbulent 1974 film shoot, where a constantly malfunctioning mechanical shark, Bruce, traps three Hollywood legends—Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider—together on a small boat. This witty and poignant play reveals the struggles, shared stories, and iconic moments that birthed a blockbuster.
