The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time was a hit novel for Mark Haddon with its analysis of the adventures of a 15 year old boy who has a disorder in the autism spectrum, akin to Asperger's. Haddon says the novel is not a manual on autism but a book about otherness and how society at large reacts to what is different.

Robert Shaw's son, Ian Shaw has written this richly comic play with Joseph Nixon and in The Shark is Broken he plays his own father. The resemblance between father and son is remarkable, especially in profile and in voice where it is uncanny. Robert Shaw in the film plays Quint a shark hunter brought in by the town of Amity Island to restore confidence in their summer beach trade. Roy Scheider (Demetri Goritsas) played the Chief of Police of Amity and Richard Dreyfuss (Liam Murray Scott) was a marine biologist.
