Tallulah

Kathleen Turner stars in Sandra Ryan Heyward’s one-woman play ‘Tallulah’. Once called the next Marlene Dietrich, Tallulah Bankhead was an actress with a flare for cynicism and a taste for alcohol. While her talent was criticised, she quickly became famous for her party-girl social adventures. Heyward’s play takes a slice out of Tallulah’s high-society life. The play unfolds one evening, as Tallulah prepares a private fund-raiser for incumbent President Harry S Truman. Sipping champagne and spilling secrets, the expectant hostess stews about, revealing the sultry tales and woeful regrets of her luxurious life.
