It’s nearly 50 years since the release of Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) but it still plays as well as ever, and now it’s spawned a fascinating behind-the-scenes drama, co-starring and co-written by the son of the film’s fiery star, the late great Robert Shaw.
Ian Shaw was five years old when his father made the movie, and he was only eight when his father), he wrote an outline for a play about Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider killing time between takes on the set of Spielberg’s blockbuster.
