“I knew immediately that I wanted this to be unlike anything I had written.” – Lanford Wilson

Judd Hirsch returns to his Obie Award winning performance of Matt Friedman in Talley’s Folly by Lanford Wilson. Set in an old boathouse near rural Lebanon, Missouri in 1944, Talley’s Folly is a romantic comedy following the characters Matt Friedman and Sally Talley as they once and for all settle their feelings for each other. Wilson received the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for the work.
