If I wrote a paragraph that wasn't based on what I saw at a show, I would give it proper attribution. I.e. according to a press release, according to a NY Times article. Shockingly similar to what I saw in the 2 links below.

It's weird. Nothing in either of those articles states what the TB reviewer wrote in his first paragraph (not even anything close), but they both state quite clearly that "KIm's Convenience" was turned into a TV show after the play premiered, rather than the other way around, which was your first complaint.

Did you just decide to call plagiarism and then look for a source to back it up?

In any event, reviews are not annotated term papers. If a reviewer wants to glean basic information about the world - such as that Canada likes plays about immigrants or that the US doesn't - they're free to do so if they're sticking to generalizations. You're welcome to question the accuracy of their information, but there's no plagiarism involved.

First of all: e.g., not i.e.

Second: It's a bit of a leap to essentially accuse a writer of plagiarism because...what? Both his review and another article about the same subject both mention Come From Away?
