LOOPED! at TRIANGLE PRODUCTIONS

We are smack dab in the middle of the 60's, every professional had a cigarette between their lips and a flask of scotch in their coats. Women were discovering their sexuality, and how and when to use it. Fashion and glamour were important, as was your status in society. This was the world Tallulah Bankhead knew, she didn't need the office relationships we see in Mad Men to be important, everyone already knew her name and knew her story.

By 1965 Tallulah had dominated the talent industry, from talk shows, to plays, to a movie with Alfred Hitchcock. She was the center of attention and center of controversy. Nobody stole the spotlight like Tallulah Bankhead. Except maybe the pills, the alcohol, and the cocaine. Tallulah was the original party girl, making her all the more troublesome to her political and powerful family.

In the summer of 1965 an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead stepped into the recording studio to tape one line of dialogue for her latest movie Die! Die! My Darling! By the 8th hour, they had finally gotten it. In between takes, Tallulah tells her story while popping pills and pouring herself a few drinks. Through honesty and hilarity, we hear her thoughts and advice about the world she once dominated. As the audience watches the show unfold, they also start to see a star fade.
