★★★★/4 Stars - In Tannahill's hands, there’s nothing dull about the suburbs: He creates rich, Gothic landscapes for his plays, where lines blur unsettlingly – not just between urban and rural, but between child and adult, civilization and nature, and reality and fiction...having real teenage bodies on stage and in peril adds to the hair-raising atmosphere...artfully structured, yet full of suspense, with dialogue that shifts smoothly between the poetic and observational. It’s got style and substance – and is scary as all get out.

★★★★.5/5 stars - Although the play includes supernatural elements typical of Tannahill’s work, Concord Floral draws its power from its intense realism and a sense that it has captured the zeitgeist... a brilliant modern Canadian fable.

NNNN...masterfully blends naturalistic dialogue, poetic lyricism and magic realism. Concord Floral is an ensemble choral piece that packs a theatrical and emotional punch. It’s also a fine showcase for a new generation of actors.

★★★★/5 stars - Tannahill’s writing helps (the cast) express the amorphous sense of dread that has begun to characterize their generation...The three directors – Tannahill, Erin Brubacher and Cara Spooner – work together in such harmony, you would assume the production were the product of a single mind.

...a topical ghost story set in Vaughan that was Degrassi meets The Decameron. Easily the best new play of the year. (selected as one of Toronto's Top 10 Theatre Productions in 2014)
