TALLY'S FOLLY at Roundabout's Laura Pels Theatre

(Seen March 7, 2013)

A fondly remembered little play, Lanford Wilson's Pulitzer Prize winning TALLY'S FOLLY, has been sensitively revived by the Roundabout Theatre.  And they have wisely recruited a pair of low-key, intense, appealing actors to recreate the story of how two 'losers' come together.

Danny Burstein and Sarah Paulson totally embody their roles, charmingly parrying each other with affection and skill.  Director Michael Wilson's unseen hands brings out the poetry and reality of this battle for a love partnership between two disparate personalities and social classes.

Wilson's play provides a charming vehicle for these theatre artists to win our affection.
