The Shark is Broken in the West End | Jaws behind-the-scenes comedy
Ойын-сауық
We meet the team behind the West End staging of The Shark Is Broken, which is a deep-dive behind-the-scenes on the making of Jaws.
Running to 15 January 2022 at the Ambassadors Theatre, the piece is written by Ian Shaw (who is the son of original Jaws actor Robert Shaw) and Joseph Nixon, and stars the younger Shaw as his father. Joining Shaw are Liam Murray Scott as Richard Dreyfuss and Demetri Goritsas as Roy Scheider.
The stage show follows the three actors as they sit on a boat and wait while their mechanical carnivorous co-star is fixed. It has direction by Guy Masterson, with set and costume by Duncan Henderson, lighting by Jon Clark, sound and music by Adam Cork and video by Nina Dunn. Casting is by Julia Horan CDG. The associate director will be Martha Geelan, the associate lighting designer will be Simisola Majekodunmi and the costume associate will be Deborah Andrews.

"Anyway, we delivered the bomb" ~ with no hyperbole I genuinely think that is the best delivery of any line in film history.
OMG I nearly spat my tea out... when Robert said "it's about a shark!" :) LOL :D

There's a "fuck off" in there 😆
What a brilliant play, I saw it last week. It's an absolute treat, very funny but ultimately sad in parts. Ian Shaw gives the most extraordinary performance playing his wonderfully charismatic father. He delivers the Indianapolis speech at the end every bit as brilliant as his father did in Jaws. Robert Shaw would be proud of his wonderful son.
Jaws to me is the best movie ever made, it’s just perfect and before anybody starts, the rubber shark doesn’t make a blind bit of difference.
When I see the son of Mister Shaw on stage, I only see Quint!!! The likeness is absolutely mind-blowing!
I STILL can't get over what a spitting image Ian Shaw is of his father! 😳😳😳
Saw "The Shark is Broken" last night. Awesome evening. Incredible acting. Humour, sadness, vulnerabilities exposed, poignant moments, truth, nostalgia. Everyone should go and see it. The acting and staging is superb and, for 90 minutes, you'll be transported back to 1974 in a claustrophobic environment where three very different characters are thrown together and are forced to face each other's insecurities. Bravo! to the whole team behind TSIB and thank you for putting on such amazing entertainment!
Robert should of got the Oscar for Jaws can't believe he didn't get one for me the best lrish actor who ever lived rest in peace our dear friend

Robert Shaw was born in Westhoughton, Lancashire, England....100% English ;-)
Saw it on Friday evening. Wow! It was absolutely fantastic. My JAWS obsessed hubby even welled up at the end.

can i get in without a covid pass? I was just about to buy a ticket and saw the small print. I remember I dodged it at Back To The Future Musical.

@@markthomas8018 I had covid & recovered in August so was granted a covid pass. The new requirements are a covid pass OR a lateral flow test result uploaded to the NHS website. I’d do it the day before you go. They did check the covid passes but they aren’t necessary. Just do lateral flow & show the text you receive back from the NHS. The staff were really nice & friendly, so you shouldn’t have any problems. Enjoy!
“It’s about a shark!” LOL!

So Robert Shaw has been reincarnated. I want to see this play!!!

I wish I'd been able to see this! Ian Shaw is the absolute image of his father.

I know and I think Ian Shaw’ dad would be proud of him. Maybe the place should’ve been called the son of the shark hunter or something .
I really wish I could have seen this play. It looked awesome.
Whats the betting we get a major film or mini series in the next few years about the great Robert Shaw and played by his son Ian. i cannot wait because he looks the splitting image and with a bit of honing he could get his voice nailed down. I think it could merit Bafta, Oscar or Grammy nominations if done right and with the right script and director on board. Mr Spielberg here is your cue!
This play is a brilliant idea. Could be richer than the fantastic movie it’s inspired by. I really hope this goes abroad.
Sheriff Brody, I adore you!
For almost an entire minute the guy playing Robert Shaw steals the scene without saying a damn thing. (eta: didn't realize he's a Shaw lol)
I hope you guys tour this play... over the UK
Having read and watched so much on the Jaws story, I would LOVE to see this but there's no way I can get there during its run. Please, Please bring it to Durham Gala theatre or Stockton Globe or Darlington Hippodrome. Or better still, bring it out on DVD as well. The casting is perfect, especially Ian who is so like his Dad it's uncanny - and who better to bring that part to life? Big pat on the back to the whole production team too. It looks astonishing.

Hey! I work as a Front of House at the Ambassadors Theatre, which is the theatre that has The Shark is Broken at the moment and if that can be of any reassurance: it is having a LOT of success, so I wouldn't be surprised if it ever gets extended or if it goes somewhere else :))

@@meredithheinrich7946 Thank you for that feedback. What an exciting role you have. Hope you're enjoying this too. It's great to know that Jaws is still as phenominal today as it always was and has a huge fan base. I hope to see this in due course. Cheers!
A great show and met Dimitri afterward for a selfie!
This play has been attracting a lot of coverage, both because of the background events and its quality. Unfortunately, like most people, I have little chance of ever seeing it. Maybe they might make a commercially available recording?
Who is coming to see this show who has not seen Jaws? That’s just crazy to me.
It’s scary how much how looks like his dad.
Sounds fascinating!
Sure a lot of people would like to see this outside London. Any chance it can be recorded for broadcast at cinemas?
When will "The Shark Is Broken," going to be put out on digital, and, or, DVD, to purchase?
The trouble with theatre in the UK s that it is too London-centric....if you live north of Watford you can forget seeing plays of this calibre...

I really do think that a person should see the film first. Lines such as, "You're gonna need a bigger boat," will mean a lot more if they do. I mean, if you haven't seen Jaws, they'll be nothing funny about that.
