A play in two acts
by Timothy Paleczny
Harking back to when the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement was in the news circa 1988 to 1990, A Bill to Pay calls attention to what was lost and the price Canadians continue to pay.
Harking back to a time of simpler values, A Bill to Pay shows a young man and his grandfather grappling with the changes each faces. One is coming of age and deals with issues of relationship, agency, and purpose. The other wants to retire and invokes matters of succession, closure, and, ironically, romance. Both the past they’ve shared and their future confound them; their present needs are a humorous source of conflict. They are family, after all.
A Bill to Pay finds fun in showing audiences the price of life's little decisions. Set in 1988 to 1990 in Waterloo, Ontario, this comedy fixates on a big concern for all—the new U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA), calling to mind what was lost and the price Canadians continue to pay.
