Description

Published in 1605 under the title The London Prodigal, this play was performed by the Kings Majestys servants and later included in the 3rd and 4th Shakespeare folios. However, Tucker Brooke, the author of *The Shakespeare Apocrypha*, argues against the plays authenticity, stating that it lacks Shakespeares renowned psychological insight and moral depth. As he puts it, any theory which supports the plays authenticity may safely be branded as utterly untenable. Join us as we explore this intriguing work and delve into its themes of morality and the prodigal son archetype. - Summary by ToddHW
