The Shark is Broken at The Athenaeum Theatre tickets
About The Shark is Broken
When the shark won’t work, the drama does.
Behind the scenes of Jaws, three actors are stranded on a boat as tempers flare, egos clash, and a cinematic legend hangs by a thread.
The Shark Is Broken is a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud play about fame, failure, and friendship under pressure – an edgy, once in a lifetime theatrical treat that proves the biggest drama was never in the water.
