Tally’s Folly
WRP’s $5 Play Reading Series continues with a “a funny, sweet, touching and marvelously written and contrived love poem for an apple and an orange.” (New York Post) The winner of the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Talley’s Folly is set in the ornate, deserted Victorian boathouse on the Talley place, just outside Lebanon, Missouri. The year is 1944, and Matt Friedman, an accountant from St. Louis, has arrived to plead his love to SallyTalley, but first he must overcome her doubts and fears about the all-too uncertain future.
