Island Stage Left presents "Talley's Folly" by Lanford Wilson. Set in a dilapidated boathouse towards the end of the second world war, two social outcasts - a German Jewish accountant and the daughter of a wealthy and bigoted Missouri family find each other on a summer evening by the river and reveal their secret fears.

Krista Strutz and Daniel Mayes pair off in this enchanting romance playing Thursday through Sunday - April 24 to 27 at 7:30 at the Fairgrounds on Argyle in the 4H building.

It's a lovely warm, funny and moving story set in Missouri in 1942. The cast is comprised two characters - Matt Friedman, a Jewish accountant and the object of his desire, Sally Talley, the daughter
of a wealthy and bigoted business family. Daniel Mayes and Krista Strutz, who performed "Educating Rita" last year, will play the two characters.

This bitter-sweet romance is a testament to the triumph of love over fear and the struggle to overcome tragedy with courage, humor and hope.
