ABOUT THE SHOW
In John Patrick Shanley's "PRODIGAL SON" - From the Oscar, Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Doubt" and "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea" comes a highly personal, explosive, and portrait-like drama.
John Patrick Shanley's "PRODIGAL SON" is a passionate, semi-autobiographical depiction of a young man on the razor-thin edge between salvation and destruction.
Set in the mid-1960s, the story follows Jim, a working-class Irish-Catholic teenager from the Bronx who is given a scholarship to a prestigious, elite boys' preparatory school in New Hampshire.
Gifted, poetic, and fiercely intelligent, Jim is also intensely alienated, violent, and battling a profound loneliness.
As his self-destructive behavior tests the limits of the school's strict rules, two faculty members and the headmaster find themselves caught in a high-stakes debate: is this brilliant, rebellious young man a rising star to be nurtured, or a disaster waiting to happen?
