Lanford Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning romantic drama is set in 1944, in the deserted boathouse on the Talleys’ farm in Lebanon, Missouri. This moving and lyrical play deals with the courtship of the young Sally Talley and her suitor, Matt Friedman. Matt, an accountant from St. Louis, has arrived to plead his love to Sally, the cautious, still-unmarried daughter of the Talley family. Through his charm and persistence, Matt gradually overcomes her resistance, revealing his innermost secrets and gradually awakening Sally to the possibilities of a life together.
Talley’s Folly is presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, a division of Broadway Licensing.
