The Prodigal Son / Insouciance
By Jack Hibberd & Barry Dickins
24 July 2001 – 18 August 2001 Beckett Theatre
Playbox Theatre Company,
New Writing Theatre World Premiere
A double bill of plays by Jack Hibberd and Barry Dickins examining families.
Written in the early 1990s, The Prodigal Son centres on a family of MR, MRS and SON, quite anonymous, but the forces in this play are quite specific. The son has been booted out of home when very young, on the suspicion that he is queer. He returns a couple of decades later, hoping for reconciliation, but is ruthlessly ejected again.
Insouciance is a family saga about the love that binds a maniacal mother, her anxiety-ridden husband and their long-suffering son.
