Set in a New Hampshire motel room, Bingo with the Indians, according to production notes, is a "pitch-black comedy about a small, frustrated theatre troupe from Manhattan who plans to rob a famous local Bingo game in rural New Hampshire so they can afford to produce their play in the East Village."
