Roundabout Theatre Company's (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) production of Lanford Wilson's Talley's Folly will conclude its limited engagement on May 12, 2013 at 2:00PM. The Pulitzer Prize winning play stars Danny Burstein as "Matt Friedman" and Sarah Paulson as "Sally Talley", directed by Michael Wilson.

Talley's Folly will have played 28 preview performances and 78 regular performances. Previews began on February 9, 2013 and the production opened officially on March 5, 2013 at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold & Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street). This limited engagement was extended one week through May 12th.

Talley's Folly has been nominated for a Lortel Award for Outstanding Revival. Danny Burstein (Matt Friedman) was nominated for a Lortel Award for Outstanding Lead Actor and Drama League Award for Distinguished Performance.

The design team includes Jeff Cowie (Sets), David Woolard (Costumes), Rui Rita (Lights) & Mark Bennett (Original Music & Sound Design).
At the end of World War II, Matt Friedman (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 (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.
Talley's Folly premiered in 1979 off-Broadway 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.
