Peter Paylor, Canadian playwright

Bio

Peter Paylor

playwright

Born in a small town on the edge of Toronto when there were still small towns on the edge of Toronto, Peter’s work mixes a bittersweet yearning for the best of what small towns can be with a comic disdain for the worst of how small towns sometimes are. With dozens of plays produced for the stage at community theatres and local festivals, Peter has become one of Eastern Ontario’s favourite playwrights.
