AUDITIONS
BINGO! Stay on the Ball Ladies by Belinda Bradley
Thursday 19 January 2023 / 10 - 6pm
Soho Arts Community Hall 14 Weld St South Hobart (lots of parking)
Bingo! is a clever consideration of friendship - life and dying on one’s own terms, peppered with tales of real life and is often very funny
Bingo! is the story of six mature women, set in rural Tasmania, who played netball together when they were young. In an unfortunate twist of fate, on their way to bingo, they have a car accident and run over “Death”. Death has a bad back and is not impressed.
Belinda Bradley is a Tasmanian playwright and Blue Cow Theatre’s Writer in Residence.
