The Shark Is Broken

The Shark Is Broken


What happens when three actors are stranded together on a boat, the mechanical shark refuses to cooperate, and one of Hollywood's biggest productions grinds to a halt? The answer is *The Shark Is Broken*-a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud play that dives into the extraordinary true story behind the making of the 1975 film classic *Jaws*.

As filming stalls, tempers flare, egos collide, and boredom gives way to biting wit and surprising honesty. Set aboard the Orca between takes, the play offers a fascinating and often hilarious glimpse into the personalities of the three stars as they navigate fame, frustration, and the mounting pressure of creating cinematic history.

Following acclaimed seasons in London's West End and on Broadway, *The Shark Is Broken* arrives in Melbourne in a reimagined production directed by Luke Joslin. Packed with humour, heart, and brilliantly observed performances, it's a must-see for theatre lovers, film buffs, and anyone who enjoys stories about what happens when everything goes spectacularly off script.
