The Shark Is Broken

The Shark Is Broken is a play that goes behind the scenes of the making of the film Jaws. It focuses on the three lead actors, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider, as they navigate the challenges of filming on the open ocean and the personalities involved. It's a character-driven piece that explores the tensions and camaraderie that developed during that famously difficult production. This performance takes place on Saturday, August 21, 2027, at the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts in Smithtown, NY. The theater setting is well-suited for this kind of intimate, dialogue-heavy production, offering a focused experience for those interested in theater, film history, or a look at the creative process under pressure.
