Looped

Tuesday, Feb. 26?Sunday, March 3, matinee and evening performances, Parker Playhouse

Matthew Lombardo wrote this engaging play about Southern, but by no means a belle, Tallulah Bankhead, who was known for wild partying and convention-defying exploits that surpassed even today?s celebrity bad girls. Based on a true story, the play is set in a 1965 sound studio. Ms. Bankhead has been summoned to re-record, or loop, a single muffed line of dialogue from what would be her last film, Die, Die My Darling. It?s a simple task, but ultimately takes hours when Bankhead arrives so inebriated she?s unable to loop the line properly. What ensues is an uproarious showdown between an uptight film editor and the outrageous legend. Held hostage to Bankhead?s antics, her recollections spill out as her talk turns to scandals and rumors that have followed her for years ? bedding Gary Cooper and Joan Crawford, her disastrous turn in A Streetcar Named Desire, and more. $28?$66 per ticket. 707 Northeast 8th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304, www.browardcenter.org.
