Fifth of July. by. Lanford Wilson. · Rating details · ratings · 29 reviews. Ken Talley, a Vietnam vet who lost his legs in combat, lives in a farmhouse in rural Missouri with his lover, Jed. Traumatized and bitter, Ken struggles to find meaning in his life. The playwright unquestionably makes that humble declaration between the lines of his work Fifth of July, which the Signature Theatre is reviving with quiet beauty as part of a season-long. He is somewhat cynical. His lover Jed is bigger and stronger, a gardner, a good listener. On Independence Day Ken's home in Lebanon Missouri is visted by the others. Much of their past relationships, pre- and post-Vietnam, must be pulled up and examined before any of them can decide their future.
