Winner of the 2015 Carol Bolt Award

Finalist for the 2016 Governor General's Literary Award for Drama

The Decameron meets I Know What You Did Last Summer in this suburban thriller in which ten teenagers flee a plague of their own making.

Concord Floral is a one-million-square-foot abandoned greenhouse and a refuge for neighborhood kids; a place all to themselves in which to dream, dare, and come of age. But hidden there is a secret no one wants to confront, and when two friends stumble upon it they set off an unstoppable chain of events, from shadows in parking lots to phone calls from the grave. It's time for the teens of Concord Floral to start talking.

Reviews
“A brilliant modern Canadian fable.”
- Annie Hodgins, Theatremania
“Artfully structured, yet full of suspense… it’s got style and substance—and is scary as all get out.”
- J. Kelly Nestruck, The Globe and Mail
“Masterfully blends naturalistic dialogue, poetic lyricism and magic realism. Concord Floral is an ensemble choral piece that packs a theatrical and emotional punch.”
- Jon Kaplan, NOW Toronto

Jordan received the 2014 Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama for his book Age of Minority: Three Solo Plays.
