Review: THE SHARK IS BROKEN, Richmond Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - February 18, 2025
The premise of The Shark is Broken is deceptively simple; three men in a boat, waiting and talking.

Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider, and Richard Dreyfuss would go on to star in the icon...

The piece has a consistent cohesion to it - sonically but also narratively, with the numbers living inside a bubble of mel...
