In
Talley’s Folly, we are introduced to Sally Talley,
a young woman who is enmeshed in a duet of yearning
and triumphant love found in the most unlikely of
places. It is the Fourth of July and 41 year-old Matt
(originally played by Judd Hirsch, for whom Wilson
wrote the play), must confront his illusions as he
pleads his love to young Sally. Unaccepted by her
family and separated by class, they share a love at
first improbable but quite possibly redeeming. This
play became an instant classic of the Broadway stage.
