New Mexico Actors Lab presents

Talley's Folly by Lanford Wilson

Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics Award, Talley’s Folly is set in 1944 at the ornate, deserted Victorian boathouse on the Talley place in Lebanon, Missouri. Matt Friedman, an accountant from St. Louis, has arrived to plead his love to Sally Talley, the susceptible 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. He gradually overcomes her defenses, sharing his innermost secrets and, in return, learning hers as well. Eventually he awakens Sally to the possibilities of a life together until, in the final, touching moments of the play, they are two kindred spirits who have truly found each other—and who, in their union, will find a wholeness rare in human relationships.
