The Shark Is Broken

The Shark Is Broken offers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film Jaws. This play focuses on the three lead actors — Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider — stuck on a boat, navigating ego clashes and the challenges of filming a movie with a malfunctioning mechanical shark. It's a character-driven piece that explores the personalities and pressures involved in creating a classic. This theatrical presentation at the D'Youville Kavinoky Theatre in Buffalo on Thursday, May 13, 2027, will appeal to those interested in film history, dramatic comedy, and strong ensemble acting. The Kavinoky offers an intimate setting for this kind of character study, making for an engaging evening of live theater.
