Fifth of July by Lanford Wilson

Fifth of July is a play by American playwright Lanford Wilson. Set in rural Missouri in 1977, it revolves around the Talley family and their friends, and focuses on the disillusionment with America in the wake of the Vietnam War.

It premiered on Broadway in 1980 and was later produced as a made-for-television movie. This is part of the Talley Trilogy, a series of Wilson plays revolving around the Talley family of Lebanon, Missouri.

The other plays are Talley's Folly, featuring Sally Talley and her husband-to-be, Matthew Friedman, and Talley & Son, which tells the story of Sally's family in the same chronological period that Talley's Folly takes place.

 

Directed by Troy Johnson
