Talley's Folly by Lanford Wilson
The play is a romantic tale set in an old, dilapidated Victorian boathouse in Missouri during World War II. It unfolds over the course of one evening, as two unlikely lovers, Matt Friedman, a Jewish immigrant accountant from St. Louis, and Sally Talley, a nurse from a conservative Protestant family, engage in a poignant dialogue that reveals their pasts, their fears, and their hopes. Through their conversation, they confront social prejudices, family disapproval, and their own insecurities, ultimately finding a connection that transcends the folly of the boathouse and the era's societal constraints. The play is a lyrical exploration of love, acceptance, and the courage it takes to pursue happiness against all odds.
