{"product_id":"the-prodigals-john-buckley-sleadd-9781694107749","title":"The Prodigals: A Tale of Forgiveness","description":"This musical play, complete with script and song lyrics, is based on the Biblical parable of the Prodigal Son, set in Victorian England and Morocco. Lawson Prodigal has just returned home to Portsmouth from engineering study in Germany as the celebrated firstborn son of Brunel Prodigal, a renowned engineer and wealthy businessman. Ferrell Prodigal, the wayward second-born son, asks for his substantial inheritance early, then promptly squanders it in riotous living in another country. Ferrell soon finds himself destitute and enslaved to a maleficent master because of his debts. Ferrell escapes and returns home to receive his father's forgiveness but his brother's resentment. Love interests emerge along the way. An unexpected turn of events requires Lawson to make a great sacrifice to help his brother. John Buckley Sleadd, retired teacher and pastor, began writing full musicals in earnest In 2016, when \"The Prodigals: Faith Can Lead You Home\" was completed and performed in a 90-seat theatre in Grants Pass, Oregon. In 2018, Sleadd returned to the book and score of \"The Prodigals,\" revising it extensively, and the production was again staged in a much larger venue. Later that year, an audio album, \"The Prodigals Sampler\" was released, containing seven songs from the musical. These music tracks are available on Amazon and all online audio platforms for live stream, download, or CD purchase.
