Winner of the New York Critics' Circle Award and a Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1980, Talley's Folly is the touching story of two broken and mismatched people. Set in a decaying boathouse on the eve of the Fourth of July at the tail end of WW II, Matt Friedman has come to court Sally Talley. He is bookish, erudite Jew from New York and she is a woman on the brink of being an old maid. Although Salley resists his attempts to win her love, they both reveal painful, dark secrets over the course of one evening. They discover that they are like two broken pieces of the same puzzle, meant for no one else than each other.
