Talley's Folly (1979) won the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It's the middle play of the late Lanford Wilson's Talley Trilogy, coming chronologically between Talley & Son (1981) and Fifth of July (1978). Set in an old, dilapidated boathouse near rural Lebanon, Missouri, on the Fourth of July, 1944, it is a two-person romantic comedy featuring the characters Matt Friedman and Sally Talley, who once and for all sort out and come to terms with their feelings for each other. It takes place in one act, with no intermission, in ninety-seven minutes of real time.
