The LSU Department of Theatre will perform Lanford Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Talley’s Folly, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, Nov. 10-13, and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, in the Reilly Theatre on Tower Drive on the LSU campus.
The production is part of the theater department’s Lab Theatre Season. Chris Nelson is the director.
Talley’s Folly is a romance about two opposites finding each other in a boat house. It is a comical bittersweet interplay between two lost souls: the repressed Sally Talley, who is being wooed by Matt Friedman, a Jewish accountant of whom her family disapproves.
Prized for its merciful tenderness and lyrical flights, Talley’s Folly also deals with anti-Semitism, women’s rights, economic change after the war and labor organizing. Some people, however, call it a Romeo and Juliet story with a happy ending.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased only at the door.
