Prodigal Son
World premiere play written and directed by John Patrick Shanley
with Annika Boras, Timothée Chalamet, Robert Sean Leonard,
Chris McGarry, David Potters
Prodigal Son is a passionate, explosive portrait of a young man on the verge of salvation or destruction, written and directed by John Patrick Shanley (of Tony, Academy Award, and Pulitzer Prize fame). A 17-year-old boy (Timothée Chalamet) from The Bronx finds himself suddenly in a private school in New Hampshire. He’s violent, gifted, alienated, on fire with a ferocious loneliness. Two faculty members (Tony Award winner Robert Sean Leonard and Chris McGarry) wrestle with the dilemma: Is the kid a star or a disaster?
The world premiere of Prodigal Son marks another exciting step forward in the collaboration between Manhattan Theatre Club and this visceral New York playwright (Doubt, Outside Mullingar).

This guy is good he should play Paul Atreides from Dune someday
-
No one: Timothée crying in every single role he gets:
-
Oh my God. He was already so good at it. He is a natural born actor. So passionate, so true.
-
“ everyone talks to me like I’m the one, I should change, why should I change?! I’ve never even gotten to find out who I am and you want me to change?! That’s crazy!” Hit me HARD
-
I hate how the audience laughs at: 0.17: people dont listen to kids/young people. It's true. One of our biggest issues in society.
-
That awkward moment when you put an unknown kid in your play and he makes decades older professionals look like amateurs. Seriously, look at the ease! Not a forced gesture anywhere, not an ounce of self-awareness, not a hint of worry about voice projection and how to produce a dramatic effect. He yells, he wipes his nose, his voice disappears in a mumble, he snaps fingers...Wow! An icon is born.
-
actual chills, he deserves all the fame and recognition he has. the pure talent this guy has is insane.
-
0:16 am i the only one who doesn’t understand why they’re laughing and thinks what he said is genuinely heartbreaking
-
he makes me want to become an actress with his acting i can't explain it's just a magical thing
-
My God, Timothée is glorious. Such a talent.
-
This guy has a lot of potential. I hope he makes it far
-
I WONDER IF ILL EVER FUCKING CHANGE
-
After it ended I went "holy shit".
-
This boy is a LEGEND
-
wow this kid has potential. he might get a main role in big movies in the future.
-
This is when you know someone was born to be an actor.
-
Timothee's transformation when acting is breathtaking. I've never seen an actor change so much between interviews and every one of his characters, so talented Edit: would like to emphasize that I was trying to express how amazed I was at the difference between his personality in interviews etc. and the characters he plays :) not saying he was the best actor I had ever seen but he is very good!
-
I love how he's so deep in character that he actually starts crying a bit.
-
I LOVE THAT GLAIVE USED TIM'S CLIP IN HIS SONG OMG
