themes of alienation, sexuality, dislocation, loneliness and exclusion. All the characters are teenagers. The confusion of growing up is portrayed with sensitivity and openness, but also comments on the collective anxiety and fear that is so rampant in our
world today, especially for young people. A menacing tale of vengeance that deals with disaffected suburban teen life honestly and directly,
<i>Concord Floral </i>is intelligent, humorous and full of theatrical spectacle. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

an art installation that reflects <i>Concord Floral</i>’s theatrical points of emphasis. In the theatre gallery, spectators are invited to immerse themselves in a thematic display meant to extend the world of the play to the world right in front of us. Following
each performance, the audience is invited to participate in a talkback with the cast about the themes and content of the play.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
