Book Description:
Published in 1605 with the title: "The London Prodigall. As it was plaide by the Kings Maiesties servants. By William Shakespeare, London." And included in the 3rd and 4th Shakespeare folios. But Tucker Brooke, author of The Shakespeare Apocrypha says "any theory which supports the play's authenticity may safely be branded as utterly untenable.... Shakespeare's catholicity and psychological insight are conspicuously absent, and every principle of his dramatic morality is outraged in the treatment of the Prodigal's career." - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: M.
