Buying Time is a 10 minute drama involving two women. A young mother shops at the local small town store and finds out that her business is everyone’s business. What does she have to hide? Year Printed: 2016 First Produced: 2014 by New Theatre Ottawa as part of their Extremely Short New Play Festival, Ottawa, ON Running Time: 10 minutes Acts: 1 Female Cast: 2 Total Cast: 2 Casting Notes: Two women of approximate same age: 30-40 Ex Libris, by Yohanan Kaldi, and Buying Time, by Rosaleen Egan, stood out most for me...Buying Time is dramatic, with a premise that starts off as a simple conversation between a shopkeeper and a customer and turns into something that leaves the audience with more questions than answers. ~Robyn Lester (full review) Much stronger is Buying Time by Alliston, Ont.-based Rosaleen Egan... It’s a fully realized short story... ~Patrick Langstone (full review)
