Jordan Tannahill is the talk of Toronto's theatre community this month. Last week, the young playwright was nominated for a Governor General's Literary Award in drama for Age of Minority: Three Solo Plays, a collection that explores the lives of three queer youth and their resilience in the face of violence and intolerance. And this week, Ravi Jain's Why Not Theatre presents the Canadian premiere of his new work Concord Floral at the Theatre Centre.

Jordan Tannahill and his Toronto-based theatre company Suburban Beast aim to create “life-altering experiences.” Feral Child, a tense and ultimately disturbing 75-minute play now on stage at the Berkeley Theatre Rehearsal Hall, is definitely one of these unforgettable encounters, for many reasons that I can’t reveal here.
