Tony Award winner Linda Lavin and director Lynne Meadow, who collaborated on MTC’s The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, reunite for a new production of Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies' celebrated drama. Collected Stories chronicles the relationship between two female writers: Ruth Steiner (Lavin), a celebrated New York author with a dry wit and a distinguished career; and her bright-eyed young protégé, Lisa Morrison. As their relationship evolves and the line between fact and fiction starts to blur, their fascinating story comes to an explosive conclusion.

Collected Stories
7 / 10
By the end of Lynne Meadow's effective production, you've gotten hooked. But for the most part, 'Collected Stories' feels too polite, underwhelming and small. Linda Lavin gives a knockout performance as Ruth, marked by much humor and genuine emotion. Sarah Paulson looks too poised to play a student in her 20s, but becomes convincing as her character grows confident.
'Collected Stories,' starring Linda Lavin
8 / 10
Little wonder that, for the third time since 1997, a New York theater has turned to 'Collected Stories.' Donald Margulies' drama delivers an engrossing, if somewhat schematic, couple of hours with just a single set and two actors. What sets this play apart from dozens of others with identical descriptions, however, is that the characters are interesting, intelligent women, for a change.'
