An innovative family drama exploring the nature of trust, death, and the things we do in the name of love.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE POLARI PRIZE
Hapless fifty-something Jeremy Eldritch is scraping together a living in Paris, writing soft-core pornography as ‘Nathalie Cray’.
When his all but estranged sister tells him that their father is dying, he reluctantly returns to his parental home in the English countryside. Confronted with a life he had always sought to escape, Jeremy begins an emotionally fraught journey into his family’s chequered past – back to his mother’s unexpected death in a Greek hospital years earlier, and even further back, to the moment at which the Eldritch family fell apart.
A bold new take on the queer coming-of-age story, Prodigal deftly reconsiders the nature of trust, death, and the things we do to one another in the name of love.
