    Ribald ‘Golden Girls’ reimagining plays the Garde Tuesday

    The cast of “Golden Girls ... The Laughs Continue” (Contributed)

    When “The Golden Girls” was airing its episodes from 1985 to 1992, did anyone think it would still be a popular thing all these years later?

    Young people are watching reruns, and the series has been reimagined as a ribald stage show.

    That show is coming to the Garde Arts Center on Tuesday. It’s got “adult-themed comedy,” so audience members have to be at least 18 years old.

    The plot setup, from writer Robert Leleux, goes like this:

    Sophia has been arrested for heading up a drug ring for retirees.

    Blanche and Rose have created a sex app for seniors.

    Dorothy has a much-younger, sex-crazed love interest.

    This is “The Golden Girls” like you’ve never seen them. Oh, and men in drag play the “Girls.”

    “Golden Girls ... The Laughs Continue,” 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Garde Arts Center, 325 State St., New London; 18+ only; $44 to $79 plus fees; gardearts.org, (860) 444-7373.
