Talley's Folly


This is a simple play. It's basically about a Jewish man courting a woman at a boathouse. Not much happens other than that they talked but the characters are pretty likable. They meet at a boathouse and eventually discuss the possibility of a life together and some of their secrets are revealed. For instance, Sally's high school love who rejected her once she became infertile. There is a gap in their ages but Matt is pretty determined to win her over even though she doesn't give much encouragement. I read The Fifth of July and even though I liked that Wilson play this is the superior one. This is charming and the characters win you over. You hope that the two will get together. This won the Pulitzer Prize.
