Prodigals is a play (2011) by Sean Minogue about a group of twenty-somethings in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario who spend their days drinking in a bar while awaiting the results of a friend's murder trial.

Release

The play premiered in May 2011 in Vancouver, British Columbia as the first original production of the Twenty-Something Theatre company.[1] Described as a "notable accomplishment" by one critic[2] and "an impressive and polished first play" by another,[3] the premiere was directed by Peter Boychuk, produced by Sabrina Evertt, and featured Tara Pratt as Jen, Timothy Johnston as Wesley, Jameson Parker as Greg, Brandyn Eddy as Nips, Aslam Husain as Eliot, and Kirsten Kilburn as Nina.

A workshop production was previously produced in May 2010 at Vancouver's Havana restaurant and theatre,[4] which also elicited positive reactions from critics.[5]

Feature Film Adaptation

Minogue adapted his play into a feature screenplay[6] and sold the option to Vancouver-based production company Whiskaye Films,[7] the company behind the White Ninja (webcomic) web series. The film stars David Alpay and Sara Canning,[8] both of whom are known for their roles in the popular The Vampire Diaries TV series. A release date has not yet been set.
