The critically-acclaimed smash-hit previously enjoyed a run at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe, and will now play in the West End for a strictly limited season until 15 January 2022.
Co-written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, this funny and moving play takes audiences behind the scenes of hit film JAWS.

Cape Cod, 1974: shooting on JAWS has stalled. The lead actors, Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss, are stuck on a boat, at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. Awash with alcohol and ambition, three hammered sharks start to bare their teeth…
