The Return Of The Prodigal extends its run

The Mint Theater Company's presentation of St. John Hankin's The Return Of The Prodigal, extends its run at the Mint Theater through to 15 Jul 2007.

The comedy opened at Mint Theater on 6 Jun 2007, following previews from 23 May and was originally running through to 8 Jul 2007.

The show opened to mostly good reviews:
"A coolly enthralling play." (New York Times); "May not be entirely fresh these days, but it's certainly tasty." (Star-Ledger); "Topical, thought-provoking, and brilliantly played." (Epoch Times); "Misguided modern-dress update." (Variety); "It's drama at its best" (NewYorkTeatreGuide.Com).

The Return Of The Prodigal: The prodigal of the title is Eustace Jackson, the son of a wealthy manufacturer. Five years earlier Eustace was packed off to Australia to make his fortune, but he only succeeds at failing in everything he attempts. Desperate and destitute, he returns home...

Directed by Jonathan Bank, The Return Of The Prodigal features Bradford Cover, Tandy Cronyn, Leah Curney, Robin Haynes, Roderick Hill, Richard Kline, Kate Levy, W. Alan Nebelthau, Cecelia Riddett and Margot White.
