“The best political theatre rouses and entertains you while it makes you think. Tommy Taylor’s You Should Have Stayed Home does just that.” Rating: NNNN— Jon Kaplan, NOW Magazine

“Taylor tells the story with humour, sensitivity, a keen eye for detail and a quiet manner. There is no ranting, raving or table banging…I found the piece very moving and it made me grit my teeth at the way things were handled. That’s what good theatre does.— The Slotkin Letter, Lynn Slotkin

“I left the theatre furious. That’s a good thing.”— Colin Thomas, Georgia Straight

“Taylor has an everyman quality and lack of pretense that makes his performance immensely relatable.”— Roberta McDonald, The Tyee

“A simple, essential piece of theatre, just as our freedoms are similarly simple and essential.”— Christine Quintana, Canadian Theatre Review

“Taylor is clearly skilled as a storyteller and public speaker… a deeply important show in this day and age.”— Arthur Bullock, Beyond James (Hamilton)

“The most original beginning you’ll see at a Toronto Fringe show this season… Man, what a night.” — Mooney on Theatre

“Crass, laugh-filled and a lot of fun… Taylor never breaks character and reminds us that we’re all in this together.” — The Mind Reels

“Taylor’s delivery is gruff but authoritative, and he’s quick on his feet… a suitably creepy backdrop for tales that are rude, crude, and often draw on audience participation.” — NOW Magazine

“My highlight of this year’s SummerWorks… the joy of discovery, the sense of the unknown, and the sense of possibility.” — PLANK Magazine

“Critics Pick — NNNN” — Jon Kaplan, NOW Magazine

“A thoughtful play… Rosemary Dunsmore as the mother gives a gripping, heartbreaking performance. Critics Pick.” — Lynn Slotkin, CBC
