Our celebration of 50 years of Jaws continues with this very special Script in Hand playreading about the making of the film- The Shark Is Broken

The Shark Is Broken is a witty and revealing behind-the-scenes look at the making of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic, Jaws-the film that defied expectations to become one of the greatest movies of all time.

Stranded on a boat three legendary actors-Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider-grapple with long delays, cramped quarters, and clashing personalities as they wait for their famously unreliable mechanical shark to work. Based on real events and co-written by Ian Shaw, the son of Robert Shaw, this critically acclaimed play takes audiences into the tense, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartfelt moments when the camera wasn’t rolling. With razor-sharp dialogue and a deep dive into the egos, anxieties, and friendships that shaped Jaws, The Shark Is Broken is a must-see for movie lovers and theatergoers alike.
