Directions & Map

Fifth of July, Pulitzer Prize-winner Lanford Wilson's bittersweet portrait of the rock n' roll generation, follows the bumpy road traveled by former 1960s radicals on their way to becoming boomers. Wilson's play, the final chapter in his Talley trilogy, details the reunion of three generations of the Talley family as they try to move forward from yesterday (the 4th of July) through the rest of their lives (the 5th of July and beyond). Ken Talley hosts eccentric family members and old college friends for a summer holiday, and deals with the emotional stakes everyone holds in the past and the future of the family farmhouse he may sell.
