Talley's Folly: Danny Burstein and Sarah Paulson to star

Three-time Tony Award nominee Danny Burstein and Sarah Paulson ("American Horror Story") are to star in The Roundabout Theatre Company's upcoming Off-Broadway revival of Lanford Wilson's Pulitzer Prize winning play Talley's Folly, directed by Michael Wilson ('The Best Man,' 'Dividing the Estate').

Further casting is to be announced.

Talley's Folly will open at the Laura Pels Theatre on 5 Mar 2013, following previews from 8 Feb 2013, and play a limited engagement through to 28 Apr 2013.

Talley's Folly: At the end of World War II, Matt Friedman (Danny Burstein), a Jewish immigrant who has spent his life keeping others at a distance, returns to the small town where he first met Sally Talley (Sarah Paulson). Nothing like her conservative Protestant family and neighbors, Sally is a nurse with deep misgivings about the country's future. After a lifetime of believing they'll never truly belong in the world around them, Matt has worked up the courage to ask Sally for her hand, and convince her that they do belong together.

The design team includes Jeff Cowie (Sets), David Woolard (Costumes) and Rui Rita (Lights).

Roundabout welcomes back Michael Wilson following his staging of Tennessee Williams' 'The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore' at the Laura Pels Theatre in 2011 and' Old Acquaintance' at the American Airlines Theatre in 2007.

Danny Burstein was last seen on the Roundabout stage in the 1996 Tony Award nominated revival of Stephen Sondheim's 'Company' as 'Paul' and Sarah Paulson last appeared at Roundabout in Beth Henley's 'Crimes of the Heart' as 'Meg Magrath.'

Talley's Folly premiered off-Broadway in 1979 at Circle Repertory Theatre and moved to Broadway in 1980. Lanford Wilson received a Tony Award nomination for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
