directed by Emily A. Rollie
7:30 pm curtain
Location TBA
Written by Missouri playwright Lanford Wilson and featuring a unique, IAT barebones production aesthetic,Talley’s Folly takes place in Lebanon, MO, in 1944. Matt Friedman, an accountant from St. Louis, has arrived to plead his love to Sally Talley. Bookish, intelligent, totally honest and delightfully funny, Matt refuses to accept Sally’s fears that her family will never approve of their marraige. Gradually, he convinces Sally that there is great possibility in their life together. A play about kindred spirits and finding hope in human relationships, Talley’s Folly is a touching play from one of Missouri’s very own.
