You Should Have Stayed Home

You Should Have Stayed Home is an auto-biographical re-telling of the frightening events that took place on the streets of Toronto during the 2010 G20 summit protests, which saw the largest mass arrest in Canadian history and resulted in a $14.6M class action lawsuit.

We join playwright and performer Tommy Taylor as he recounts his journey attending his first ever protest in the “Free Speech Zone” at Queen’s Park before being swept up in a mass arrest and detained at the Eastern Avenue Detention Centre.

Performances: Nov 11th @ 8pm ET, Nov 15th & 16th @ 6pm ET
