The plot follows three firefighters that have been tasked with stopping a killer shark from terrorising New Orleans. Pretty standard action movie stuff, right? However, Tommy Wiseau’s approach to storytelling is to ignore all the rules on how to tell a story.

Graham’s specific mounting of the script is, I think, a triumph of performance and stagecraft. The effort and passion that have gone into this show are palpable the entire way through and all facets of this performance are deserving of applause.
