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...
