Sounds like an interesting play, and Ian Shaw does have quite a resemblance to his late father.

Jaws was notoriously difficult to make. It went way over budget, the production ran behind schedule, and the mechanical sharks they were using frequently broke down - something which ultimately inspired the play's title.

My favorite bit of Jaws trivia:

Quote:
1. THE FILMMAKERS ORIGINALLY WANTED TO TRAIN A REAL GREAT WHITE SHARK FOR THE FILM. WHEN THEY REALISED THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE, STEVEN SPIELBERG CONCLUDED THAT THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD WORK WOULD BE TO BUILD THREE GIANT ROBOT SHARKS. HE NAMED THEM BRUCE (AFTER HIS LAWYER) AND THEY EACH COST A STAGGERING $250,000.

I can only imagine the response of some marine biologist when he had a producer on the telephone, inquiring as to where and how they might be able to rent a domesticated great white shark which could follow commands!
