Talley’s Folly

by Lanford Wilson

Directed by Lisa Malloy

This funny, heart-warming theatrical duet takes place on a moonlit night in 1944 Missouri in an old boathouse. Jewish accountant Matt Friedman has his heart set on marrying Sally Talley, a 31-year-old ‘old maid’ from a Protestant family. Sally believes they will never truly fit in to the world around them, but Matt refuses to accept Sally’s rebuffs and her fears. Through a dialogue of self-examination and personal revelations, Matt and Sally reawaken one another to love, finding that they do indeed, belong – together.
