Welcome Home by David Ravenhill

Welcome Home provides the reader with a fresh and insightful look at the familiar parable of the prodigal son. The author's approach is to recast the prodigal into twentieth century settings, so the reader can more readily identify with the central character, the prodigal. It serves to warn and yet warm the heart of the reader. Not only does it reveal the gradual and yet steady downward spiral from prosperity to the pig pen; but also the steps leading to his full restoration with his father.
