The Prodigal Daughter can refer to a number of plays, and a large number of novels and films:

The Prodigal Daughter by Augustus Harris and Henry Pettitt (1892)

The original text

Translations and adaptations

Performance history in South Africa

1902: Performed as The Prodigal Daughter by a company featuring the popular British comedian Harry Nichols, under the management of Leonard Rayne. (According to Bosman the play used was by "G. Mcdonough", but this is most probably an error, confusing the Pettitt's play with The Prodigal Father by G. McDonough, 1897).

Prodigal Daughter by J. E. Franklin (1975)
