Talley's Folly: Michael Wilson to direct revival

The Roundabout Theatre Company will compete their 2012 - 13 season with a revival of Lanford Wilson's Pulitzer Prize winning play Talley's Folly, directed by Michael Wilson (The Best Man, Dividing the Estate), opening at the Laura Pels Theatre on 5 Mar 2013, following previews from 8 Feb 2013.

Casting, creative team and ticketing information still to be announced.

Talley's Folly: At the end of World War II, Matt Friedman, a Jewish immigrant who has spent his life keeping others at a distance, returns to the small town where he first met Sally Talley. 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.

In the Laura Pels Theatre this season, Talley's Folly joins Nick Payne's 'If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet' which is currently in previews, directed by Michael Longhurst and featuring Annie Funke, Michelle Gomez, Jake Gyllenhaal, Brían F.
