Prodigal Son

Music by Matthew Frank

Lyrics by Dean Bryant

Contemporary re-telling of the well known parable, Prodigal Son is the story of Luke Flannery and his typically Australian family.  On his eighteenth birthday, Luke runs away to Sydney, rather than work in the family business.  When he 'comes out' to his parents, their rejection causes him to plunge recklessly into the city's nightlife.  Prodigal is a starkly humorous and poignant look at the challenges of growing up.
