FADE IN: 1974. The ocean’s wild, the film’s over budget, and the shark is out of commission… again. Stuck on a too-small boat, Jaws stars Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider bicker, booze, and bond as tempers flare and egos collide. Co-written by Ian Shaw (Robert’s son) and Joseph Nixon, this play dives deep into the hilarious and chaotic behind-the-scenes voyage that nearly sank Jaws—and made cinematic history instead.
