Looped Based on a real event. The play takes place in 1965, when an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead, well-known for her husky voice, outrageous personality and devastating wit, returns to the studio to redub — or loop — one line of dialogue for her last movie, Die! Die! My Darling! Written by Matthew Lombardo and produced by Springfield native Jacob Seidman.
