Cronyn, Hill, Kline, et al. Set for Mint’s The Return of the Prodigal

Bradford Cover, Tandy Cronyn, Leah Curney, Robin Haynes, Roderick Hill, Richard Kline, Kate Levy, W. Alan Nebelthau, Cecelia Riddett, and Margot White will star in the Mint Theatre Company’s production of St. John Hankin’s The Return of the Prodigal, May 23-July 8. The production, to be directed by Jonathan Bank, will open officially on June 6.

The play, which is described as a “blistering expose of middle-class life, laced with acid humor,” focuses on Eustace Jackson, the son of a wealthy manufacturer. Five years before the play begins, 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, a charming loser.

The production will feature set and costume design by Clint Ramos, lighting design by Tyler Micoleau, and sound design by Jane Shaw.
