Behind the scenes of the movie that would become the world’s first summer blockbuster, chaos reigns. On the set of Jaws, tempers flare, egos collide, and the ocean refuses to cooperate. As mechanical sharks malfunction, storms threaten production, and filming drags endlessly on, three actors find themselves trapped together in increasingly tense – and hilarious – circumstances.

Written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, this sharp comedy dives into the real-life making of Steven Spielberg’s iconic film, focusing on stars Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider. Between long days at sea, the trio drink, gamble, argue, and wrestle with the growing fear that the movie may sink before it ever reaches cinemas. Yet amid the dysfunction and rivalry, unexpected friendships emerge.

At the heart of the play is Robert Shaw, portrayed through the unique lens of his son Ian Shaw, offering an intimate and entertaining look at the man behind the legend. Packed with wit, tension, and nostalgia, the story captures a remarkable moment in film history – when nobody involved realised they were creating a cultural phenomenon that would change Hollywood forever.
