THE SHARK IS BROKEN

by Ian Shaw & Joseph Nixon

Directed by Jay Briggs

featuring Matt Mundy, J. Richy Nash and Blake White

The open ocean, 1974. Filming is delayed . . . again. The lead actors—theatre veteran Robert Shaw and young Hollywood hotshots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider—are crammed into a too-small boat, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. Alcohol flows, egos collide, and tempers flare on a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic . . . if it doesn’t sink them all. 

Location: HHPS Main Street Theater, 3000 Main Street, HHI
