Amelia spends her days under the watchful eye of her mother, doing the same nothing she has done for years. Yet when Bingo arrives at her local community center, a talking Bingo chip convinces Amelia that forming her own game is the way out of this life and away from her controlling mother. However, as her mother begins acting like a newly arrived sister, and the chip becomes increasingly dominating, Amelia discovers her new life is nothing as she imagined.-This is a full length dark comedy/absurdist thriller play, with a cast of 3 females, 1 male, and a minimal set.
