Winner of both the 1980 Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle
Award as best play of the season. The scene is the ornate, deserted Victorian
boathouse on the Talley place in Lebanon, Missouri; the time is 1944. Matt
Friedman (Duffy Epstein), an accountant from
St. Louis, has arrived to plead his love to Sally
Talley (Amy Biedel), the strong-willed, but uncertain daughter of the family. Bookish, erudite,
totally honest and delightfully funny, Matt refuses to accept Sally's rebuffs
and her fears that her family would never approve of their marriage. Charming
and indomitable, he gradually overcomes her defenses, telling her his innermost
secrets to his loved one and, in return, learning hers as well. "...Mr. Wilson
is one of our most gifted playwrights, a dramatist who deals perceptively with
definably American themes...he introduces us to two wonderful people, humanizing
and warming them with the radiance of his abundant talent. TALLEY'S FOLLY is a
play to savor and cheer." —NY Times.
"It is perhaps the simplest, the most lyrical play Wilson has written—a funny,
sweet, touching and marvelously written and contrived love poem for an apple and
an orange." —NY Post.
