Vintage Theatre presents “Looped” November 1 - December 15, 2019
Based on real events, “Looped” takes place in the summer of 1965, when Tallulah Bankhead needed to redub - or loop - one line of dialogue for what would be her final movie. What starts out as a friendly visit to the studio quickly dissolves into a hilarious battle of wits and wills between the divine diva and the film’s editor.
Vintage Theatre presents “Looped” at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora 80010 with a preview performance on November 1, opening on November 2 and running through December 15. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, November 16 & Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 - $32 and available online at www.vintagetheatre.org or by calling 303-856-7830.
Deborah Persoff stars as Tallulah Bankhead; Christian Mast is cast as Danny Miller and David Trimble as Steve.
In his review of “Looped” Boston Globe critic Don Aucoin wrote, “Tallulah Bankhead was the genuine article. She would have thrived in the age of Twitter. Tallulah swept grandly through her defiantly messy life, leaving a trail of memorable one-liners, aperçus, and epigrams: “I’m as pure as the driven slush.’’ “Only good girls keep diaries; bad girls don’t have the time.’’ “I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That’s what I call a liberal education.’’
