Romulus Linney, a playwright who roved along many intellectual paths, exploring the southern Appalachian culture of his upbringing, refashioning classical works for modern times and adapting contemporary novels for the stage, died Saturday at home in Germantown, N.Y. He was 80 and also had a home in Manhattan.
