Last night the Let Christy Take It Podcast got the opportunity to go to the The Gaiety Theatre to see brilliant play The Shark is Broken

"The Shark Is Broken," a play by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, offers a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of the making of the classic 1975 film "Jaws." Set on Martha's Vineyard during the tumultuous summer of filming, the play delves into the tensions and challenges faced by the cast and crew, particularly focusing on the interactions between the leading men: Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss.

The title itself hints at the central theme of the production—the infamous mechanical shark that was notorious for malfunctioning, which ultimately symbolizes the broader struggles of creativity, collaboration, and the unpredictability of filmmaking. The play captures the chaotic atmosphere of the set, emphasizing how the characters grapple with their own personalities and the demanding nature of their work.

Ian Shaw, who plays his father Robert Shaw, delivers a heartfelt performance that balances humor and drama, providing an intimate perspective on his father's legacy. The chemistry among the three leads is palpable, with each actor bringing their unique flair to the portrayals of these iconic figures. The dialogue is sharp and witty, resonating with both fans of the film and those unfamiliar with its history.

The play expertly blends comedy and tension, allowing the audience to feel the weight of the sharks—not just the mechanical one, but also the personal demons that haunt each character. The staging effectively evokes the claustrophobic and often chaotic environment of the film set, enhancing the storytelling.

Overall, "The Shark Is Broken" is an engaging and insightful exploration of the complexities of filmmaking, enriched by strong performances and a clever script. It's a must-see for any "Jaws" aficionado or anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes trials of movie production. The play successfully honors the legacy of the film while also capturing the humanity of its creators, making it a compelling theatrical experience.
