Primary Trust

After its critically lauded sellout premiere run, Eboni Booth's Pulitzer Prize-Winning play Primary Trust returns to the stage!

The Shark is Broken at George Street Playhouse

The Shark is Broken

Following sell-out success at the Edinburgh Festival, London's West End and on Broadway this hit comedy, written by Joseph Nixon and Ian Shaw (son of Robert) is coming to you in this new production from George Street Playhouse. Based on Robert Shaw's own drinking diaries during the shoot, we learn how the trio, fuelled by alcohol and ambition, passed the time bullying, bickering, and bragging while sitting out the interminable delays caused by their Great White co-star.
