“a show you simply have to see” – Janine Marley, A View from the Box

“A moody, twisty drama from playwright Taylor Marie Graham that plays beautifully with space, light, and sound, Corporate Finch was the highlight of our first day at Fringe. It’s as moving as it is scary, anchored by two excellent performances” – Kelly Bedard, My Entertainment World

“Corporate Finch gives us an intriguingly oddball psychological thriller . . . strong performances . . . keep us guessing as to who’s the monster . . . genuine creepiness.” – Ilana Lucas, Broadway World

“Taylor Marie Graham has written a dramatic tale that slowly evolves and grips us on the way . . . steadily spooky” – Lynn Slotkin, Slotkin Letter

“brilliance in the simplicity . . . If you’re into eerily suspenseful plays about teenage misdeeds in small town, Ontario, then I think you’ll find that Corporate Finch is just the ticket” – Quinton, CJRU 1280

“This grisly two-hander by playwright Taylor Marie Graham is well-performed and well-directed . . . “Corporate Finch” follows Jacob (Matthew Ivanoff) and Finch (Rainbow Kester), two best friends (or so it seems) who break into an abandoned factory in rural Ontario. As written by Graham, the characters are complex and enigmatic, toying with the audience to gain its trust“ – Joshua Chong, Toronto Star

“Graham’s script and the persuasive performances meander gently through a subtly haunting interaction. We’re drawn inexorably into the sweet, awful and outright traumatic accumulation of events leading to where they are now . . . Who is in control and how is always in flux. Just as we settle into an understanding of their situation, the nature of it shifts . . . had me on the edge of my seat. This is a tender, disturbing mediation on youthful connection and the precarious phenomenon of trust.”  – Istvan Dugalin, Istvan Reviews

“CORPORATE FINCH is a dark, weird little play, by turns psychological, theological, and ornithological . . . nods to horror classics like Stephen King’s MISERY and newer works like Emerald Fennell’s thrilling 2020 film PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN . . . CORPORATE FINCH is a fine show, a solid exemplar of an under-explored theatrical sub-genre that shines a flickering, ‘warehousey’ light on two fabulously talented young actors.”
