FIRST LOOK | INSIDE THE REHEARSAL ROOM

Three actors, one boat, and a shark that will not work. Take a first look inside the rehearsal room.

Anthony Gooley, Robin Goldsworthy and Tom Stokes have spent the past few weeks in rehearsal, stepping aboard the Orca and bringing The Shark Is Broken to life under the direction of Luke Joslin.

With opening night just over a week away, rehearsals are now in their final stages before the company moves into the Foundry Theatre.

The Shark Is Broken opens at the Foundry Theatre in Sydney on 28 August.

Take a look inside the rehearsal room. Tickets are on sale now.
