In time for Halloween, Concord Floral is an ensemble piece that packs a theatrical and emotional punch, a topical ghost story… The Decameron meets I Know What You Did Last Summer in this supernatural suburban gothic thriller. Rosa Mundi, Nearly Wild, and their friends spend a lot of time at Concord Floral, a one million-square-foot abandoned greenhouse, and a refuge for neighborhood teens; a place all to themselves where they can throw parties, experiment, dream, and come of age. But hidden there is a secret no one wants to confront, and when Rosa and Nearly stumble upon it they set off a chain of events that include phone calls from the grave. In 2019, CBC Arts named playwright Tannahill as one of sixty-nine LGBTQ Canadians, living or deceased, who has shaped the country's history.
