The Shark is Broken: Behind the Scenes with Guy Masterson

The Shark is Broken: Behind the Scenes with Guy Masterson

Join us on Friday, June 20th for an intimate conversation with Olivier Award–winning producer and director Guy Masterson, one of the original creative forces behind ’The Shark is Broken’ —the hit play that made waves from the Edinburgh Fringe to the West End and Broadway.

In this hour-long event, Masterson will share the remarkable journey of the production, from its early days in the rehearsal room to its rise on two of the world’s most celebrated stages. He’ll reflect on the unique experience of working with writer and actor Ian Shaw—son of the legendary Robert Shaw—as Ian stepped into his father’s shoes to portray him in one of cinema’s most iconic roles.

This is a rare opportunity to hear how art, legacy, and creative vision brought a mythic Hollywood story to life—and now, fittingly, to Martha’s Vineyard, where it all began.

Tickets: $65 each; includes Museum admission and a commemorative item.
