Directed by Olivier Award winner Guy Masterson, co-written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, and inspired by Robert Shaw’s experience playing Quint on the notorious shoot, “THE SHARK IS BROKEN” celebrates movie history and peeks at the choppy waters behind Hollywood’s first blockbuster.
Many of the later details have been known since the 1970s, thanks in part to writer Carl Gottlieb’s famous song The Jaws Wheel.
In fact, the problem of the question has become so pervasive in the culture that the title of the series needs no explanation or explanation to satisfy the audience.

While the film’s character clash is almost like a short story of mechanical sharks, the film’s writers and actors sent features like the Broken Shark running through the entire 95-minute film. The show sets the stage for the finale with its rich storytelling skills – the movie’s best game that couldn’t survive the USS Indianapolis scene.
In the show’s rehearsal scene, Shaw, played by Shaw, is drunk during a speech in Indianapolis, and while everyone in the audience knows he’ll eventually pull himself together, actor-director Masterson’s rhythm tries to get over the awkwardness and create some tension.
Fan of this movie – who isn’t? – will appreciate the attention to detail in this Broadway scene, including the famous shooting star shot by cinematographer Bill Butler.

The script re-establishes expectations that were ultimately not met. Goodwill and surprises aside, Broken Shark turns into a weak, happy-go-lucky story, even, let’s be honest, loads of drama.
It’s easy to imagine the joy of unexpectedly seeing this production playing at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019. On Broadway, it felt a little out of its depth.
