The Shark is Broken

The Shark is Broken offers a behind-the-scenes look at the chaotic 1974 filming of Jaws. This play focuses on the three lead actors — Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider — stuck on a boat, waiting for their mechanical shark to work. It's a character-driven piece that explores ego, tension, and camaraderie under pressure, blending comedy and drama as they navigate both the ocean and their own personalities. Catch The Shark is Broken on Saturday, March 13, 2027, at the Hubbard Stage at Alley Theatre in Houston. The Hubbard Stage is known for its intimate and versatile setting, often presenting contemporary and thought-provoking plays. This show should appeal to theatergoers who enjoy historical fiction, character studies, and stories about the creative process.
