Looped

The second in the The Human Race Theatre Company’s 2019/20 season entitled “Women of Influence: Their Power, Passion, and Pitfalls”. Based on a real event, which has been the subject of gossip for years in Hollywood, “Looped” takes place in the summer of 1965, when an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead, well known for her husky voice, outrageous personality and devastating wit, needed eight hours to re-dub- or loop- one line of dialogue for her last movie, “Die! Die! My Darling!”. Bankhead’s outsized personality dominates the young, frustrated film editor who in “knocked for a loop” by the tempestuous stage and screen icon.
