New West End play The Shark Is Broken is set on The Orca in 1975, and depicts the warring between Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss as Jaws production gets held up due to a mechanical failing.

It was on this boat, The Orca, that the actors, who weren't exactly the best of friends, were forced into close quarters during a pause in shooting due to the lousy weather out at sea and a mechanical, toothy co-star that refused to play ball.Like father like son - Robert Shaw is being played by his son, Ian.

"My father was an established actor, had seen it all and was also a distinguished writer - I think that him and Richard just didn't get on, but Richard does say that on occasion, in private, that they did. "I think there was a little bit of edge in real life between Robert and Richard, and that does show on the screen," Shaw added.

In The Shark Is Broken, The Orca is just as much as part of the story as the feuding thespians, with the challenge to bring the vessel to stage given to Duncan Henderson. "We stuff the forward cabin full of detritus from the film... they're all questioning their self-worth in their various ways, their value to the world and their value to the film industry specifically, so if we are packing them to the gunnels with all this detritus, it's more likely to increase this sense of claustrophobia."
