REVIEW: "The Shark Is Broken" at George Street Playhouse

(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) — In the film, Jaws, the main star was a shark that wasn't even seen until the movie's 80th minute. In The Shark is Broken at George Street Playhouse, the main star is a boat that is among the most impressive set designs I've ever seen. It not only looks incredible, but moves around and provides the 3D effect that Jaws 3 wishes it had. My first thought was that it’s such a shame that this will likely be taken apart following the run.

This year, the film celebrates its 50th anniversary making it a terrific time to see the play, The Shark is Broken. Written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, it is presented by George Street Playhouse now through Sunday, May 18, 2025.
