With its roots in the biblical tale of the Prodigal Son, The Prodigals follows the story of Colonel Luke Gibson, as he battles to balance his love for his two very different sons. One, Captain Mike Gibson, has been fighting for Queen and country in Afghanistan, whilst the other, Kyle has hit rock bottom after touring the country with his drug fuelled band.

This autumn Coventry's Belgrade Theatre is producing four new shows, including The Prodigals: A Man Had Two Sons, Charlie Peace: His Amazing Life and Astounding Legend, its annual pantomime, which this year is Jack and the Beanstalk and its new B2 Xmas Show Oh No It Isn't! The theatre is also restaging its Coventry Blitz play One Night in November.

Coventry's Belgrade Theatre has announced that acclaimed West End actor Simon Bowman will star in its new musical The Prodigals: A Man Had Two Sons, which is running on the Main Stage from Fri 30 Aug to Sat 14 Sept.

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, stage vet Norm Lewis joined the West End production of Les Miserables at the Queen's Theatre on July 5, 2010. See below for production stills of the show!
