Summary:

"This award-winning play Native playwright Tomson Highway is a powerful and moving portrayal of seven women from a reserve attempting to beat the odds by winning at bingo. And not just any bingo. It is THE BIGGEST BINGO IN THE WORLD and a chance to win a way out of a tortured life. 'The Rez Sisters' is hilarious, shocking, mystical and powerful, and clearly establishes the creative voice of Native theatre and writing in Canada today." -- provided via publisher.
