Talley’s Folly

Web exclusive!

In the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Talley’s Folly, Matt and Sally face lots of obstacles as a couple. For one thing, she lives in rural Missouri, while he calls St. Louis home. For another, her conservative Protestant family isn’t happy at the idea of her marrying a Jewish man 11 years her elder. Oh, and then there’s that bit about her perhaps wanting to stay single. The second play in a trilogy by Lanford Wilson, which includes Talley and Sonand Fifth of July, Folly is set in 1944 and plays out in real time as the two discuss their romantic fate.
