Just noticed this.... The Plowright Theater in Lincolnshire, England is presenting a musical titled LuLu: Louise Brooks Girl out of Time on February 21 and February 22. More information HERE.
According to the venue: "A first presentation of Greg Snape's new Louise Brooks musical. LuLu is a musical drama exploring themes of celebrity, identity, sexuality and taboo that resonate as strongly today as they did almost a century ago when mercurial silent movie icon and face of the Jazz Age, Louise Brooks was the original Flapper and one of the most photographed women in the world.
We join Louise in Berlin on the set of her seminal film Pandora's Box, during October and November of 1928. Against the fading decadent glamour of the Weimar Republic, the misogyny and huge excess of Hollywood at the very peak of the Roaring Twenties, the nascent rise of Germany's National Socialist Party and Georg Pabst's brilliantly Noir film, we discover the story of one of the first modern celebrity women fighting to be true to herself in the face of her own very dark side, and everything the world was telling her she shouldn't be... and my, does she roar."
The musical, which has been in the works since 2006, also has a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/luluthemusical
