Synopsis
Lanford Wilson - Collected Works - Volume 3 - Fifth of July & Talley's Folly & Talley and Son
Published by Smith & Kraus
The plays in this volume include Fifth of July, Talley's Folly (the winner of the 1980 Pulitzer Prize) and Talley and Son
"One of the rewards of the plays in the unfolding Talley Cycle is our knowledge of the interrelated, reflected worlds. When a character opens the door in Talley & Son, we hear the sound of crickets and dance music--and we remember that as a counterpoint to the bickering in the main house, Sally (in Talley's Folly) is down at the boathouse affirming her love for Matt Friedman. Turn the set around and walk through a Wilson time warp and we would see the family years later in the marvelous 5th of July. This thought-provoking collection belongs in every high school, academic, and public library with a modern drama collection. Highly recommended" ~ New York Times
