Lanford Wilson, R. I. P.

NYTimes.com: "Lanford Wilson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright whose work — earthy, realist, greatly admired, widely performed — centered on the sheer ordinariness of marginality, died on Thursday in Wayne, N.J. He was 73 and lived in Sag Harbor, on Long Island."

Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.

Oh, I loved Talley's Folly and several other of his plays.

Us too. We saw TALLEY'S FOLLY with Judd Hirsch, FIFTH OF JULY (William Hurt, Jeff Daniels - also the Talley family) and BURN THIS (John Malkovich, Joan Allen).
